Can't search the forums
Friday, May 16, 2008 by shawnjam | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Does anyone have problems searching the forums? Every time I hit the search button it just sits there then eventually times out with this error. I realize this is something on my side. I can search other forum sites, well except for the stardock forum site it does the same thing. I'm using vista and it doesn't matter what browser I'm using. Thanks for the help.
There was an error accessing the search service.

I use google and search "whatever site:wincustomize.com" and that works very well.
