    Default Forum search

    I cannot search forums because in IE the text entry part of the popup is covered by another portion of the page.

    Are you using the quick search box at the top of the page?

    Can you post a screen shot?

    I think you might be suffering like I am from an IE 6 or 7 problem.
    My work PC has it and I can't fix it. No other browser does this to me.

    and the workaround is....
    if you can select "Show posts" with your mouse, then you can Shift-Tab twice back to the text entry box.
    You can't see what you are typing but you can type and hit enter.

    Exactly like that. I'm using IE9. My workaround has been to use Chrome at a later time... or just forget it.

    There is also the option of using google and the search term Site: www.badgerandblade.com "search"
    Replacing the word "search" with what you are looking for.
