Okay, here's another problem-

-and I know I haven't posted about this before.

I do a serach on a forum, and get a list of results. When I try to open any of the result threads, I get this message:

"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /showthread.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Any ideas?

I-ve always found the search feature to work as expected.

Absolutely agree. Just try "Sub" or "Submariner" and nothing shows up. Browser: Firefox.

The Admin is also the forum owner.

Apart from working an 100 hour week in his Law practice he also gets around 100 emails a day from TRF members.

Give it time, he's only got one pair of hands.

I'm guessing that you've not tried the https: prefix after clearing your browser cookies, then checking the "remember me" tag in the log-in screen.

Another option is to search this site using google.

All you have to do is go to google and type:
