The best thing about your enhancements and fixes is that they are not obvious. This forum software runs so smoothly that the "errors" and "bugs" are probably only noticed by very few.

This free software is outstanding and the support is superb. The Beehive Forum project rivals massive GPL projects like Joomla. Most admirable.

With the new reveal spoilers option, it makes the spoiler box itself a big clickable block, which leads to a dead page, natch. This happens even when you're replying to it, which means you can't highlight text from the spoiler box, for the purposes of quoting.

That search bar bit in the top right corner of Firefox. Click the dropdown and there should be an option to "Add Teh Forum" which you can then use to search Teh Forum.

*customises tool bar*
*adds search box*
*clicks drop down*

Nope. Just Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Answers, Chambers, Creative Commons, eBay, SiteAdvisor, and a Manage option which apparently requires me to go to a Mozilla website to add more? :S

Which version of FF are you using? It works in FF2 both here and at work.

 

And you have the search bar hidden?!

I have it turned off because it's a useless waste of space - the address bar is far more important to me, and if I want to search google I simply type WinKey+R,G,whatever. Much faster than switching a hand to the mouse or trackpad and moving the cursor, and it doesn't open in the current screen like the searchbox does.

Probably just Firefox 2.0 then. I don't remember the "Add.." being there for anything in 1.x.

Except I have 2.0 also. Hmmm, except checking for updates reveals that "Firefox 2.0rc3 is available"... even though "About" gives no indication of this being a beta/rc, and I could've sworn I had the latest/full release version, and even if it is an RC what are they doing adding new features to it since the whole point of an RC is to fix bugs not add features.
Bleh.

Maybe it is a bug.

Then it should have been picked up during the beta testing stage. :P

If you hadn't pointed it out I would have remained blissfully ignorant of my missing feature! :@

The searchbox is customisable. Mine's set to perform the search in a new tab so I just click in the box, type what I want, hit enter and a new tab pops up with the results. Much faster than anything else. Although I keep forgetting that you're on a laptop and mice are much faster to use than trackpads.

Plus, you're talking to PB, who is obsessed with shaving those half-seconds off whatever he's doing on a computer.
