Search Function Changed

Threadloom is usually VERY responsive to feedback, so if we have specific details on the problem, browser, etc. (basically all the info to duplicate the problem) they should be able to fix it.

Linux 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 3.4.55-4linuxcnc i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

Firefox Quantum 59.0.2 (32-bit)

I clicked on Articles Mark Read then clicked on Forums then Search Forums.

I just tried another PC running Linux Mint with the same Firefox and I've not viewed the forum for ages here. I get the same screen when I click on search as I posted on the first post. So I assume it has something to do with Firefox for Linux and Threadloom not getting along.

I have the same problem with threadloom.

Windows 10
Google chrome (can't find the version?)

threadloom worked on my system in March and April - sometime this month I started seeing what jthrnton posted.

This is what I see if I search - doesn't matter if I am logged in or not. Doesn't matter if I use "search forums" or "search"

I can get to threads on the first page of results if I'm careful to click on the actual thread title. If I click on "next page" it just goes back to the home page.

Can you tell us about your system?
Desktop, tablet, or phone?
If phone, what model?
Operating system and version?
Browser and version?

Hi! I love BYC! Threadloom is giving me some issues.

From the homepage, if I click on "Search Forums" (on white bar, forgot to highlight it), I get:

I'm using my laptop and Google chrome. I haven't tried any other web browser.

ETA: I cleared my history

Windows 7 both Explorer and Chrome have the correct search window showing up, Firefox 59.0.3 I get the search window that does not work. Linux Mint 17.3 and Firefox 60.0 I get the search window that does not work. Clearly related to browsers IMHO.

All my viewing is done on desktop PC's.

I had forgotten that MS Edge was already installed on my laptop. Using Edge, all search options show up formatted and work correctly.

Chrome, however, is my preferred browser for sure!

Thanks for the great details and screenshots, we're looking into it!
