Hi.
I've noticed that sometimes, when I perform a search using the new search feature on the boards, it brings up a totally blank page. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me on my braillenote? It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen quite a lot.
Thanks
Yes, I've had that too. It seems to happen, I think, when the search brings up no results. At least I have never actually had a page come up that told me there were no results, but if I perform a search that really shouldn't find anything, it brings up a totally empty page. That's my experience with it.
Yup just tested it and looks like the server isn't generating a page with a friendly message telling you it couldn't find results. It's empty so at least you know ... lol ... and perhaps this was done as a kindness to our DOS lovers and those claiming modern software, which typically provides such friendly feedback, is too bloated and trying to do too much, or dumbing down, or whatever today's daily special phrase on the market is ...
is this with Windows too or just the BN? It shouldn't do this.
I don't have access to a computer so I cannot confirm whether this happens on other operating systems, but I can confirm that my Braillenote MPower v8.0.20 (using Windows CE 4.2) has the problem I originally mentioned. Hopefully someone else, though, can confirm this issue on a computer.
I can varify that it happens on Windows Vista and IE 8 at least.
I've never had that problem, although I've never searched for something that hasn't been found, but I've had a different problem:
When I browse my search results, sometimes it will say an option is from a particular board, but when I click on it, it takes me to a completely different topic where someone has mentioned my search phrase. Is this supposed to happen? Or is it supposed to take you to the board it lists? Sorry if that doesn't make any sense.
