I tried to do a search and the default setting included “Search All Open Forums” and “Search Subscribed Forums”. I couldn’t seem to turn either of them off. So when I clicked on the “Search Now” button, I got an error that said “You are not subscribed to any forums.”

Is this this a glitch or is it just me?

P.S. Don’t like the Casper smileys. :mad:
