I didn’t know any other forum to stick this in, so here it is. Name some classic topics, if you can still find them.With IE5 as browser, the “search” function either does not work or gives garbage.
Start:Kiwi shoe polish http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/002299.html
I’d also list my “most stupid thing you ever did”, but I can’t find it.
Stupid things:http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000208.html
when I searched it, the answer listed this topic as the “unresolved bitterness” topic.
Now the stupid url code didn’t work!

While the IE5 browser MAY be a contributing factor (but I doubt it), please note that the malfunctioning search engine is a known problem and has been for quite some time.
We’re trying to fix this as quickly as we can, but it’s a combination of factors, some of which we don’t have 100% control over.
Fixes are on the way. When exactly? I’m not sure. UBB is working on bug fixes and they have a package of fixes they put out over the weekend, but we’ll be a little slow putting those on; let someone else go first is probably the best shot. If they don’t blow up, THEN we’ll move forward.
The calendar’s not helping us either, what with the Jewish holidays; people are not here to work on things.
Sorry for your troubles, please bear with us. (No pun intended. :))

I think you make the shoe polish out of the Kiwis.

Wow, sunbear. You mentioned two of my threads as classics? My goal was to make a thread that was decnet. I’m blushing now. Thanks.

I really hope all this code works.
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Hmmm…let’s try that again.

Groovy. Here’s the rest of my questionable choices:
