I had one report that they were having problems with the forum, anybody else having any problems with the forum?
Use the Advanced Search for now

Until I can work out what part of the search script is causing the problem you will have to use the Advanced Search facility which is working fine.
All working again

Located what was causing the problem with the Search Facilities and it has now been fixed.

finally back on - something was out of sync here - I tried many "local" things before a re-boot of my PC and Router :-)
Thanks Admin

David,
Did as you suggested and refreshed my browser.
When I go to the Home Page I do not have the options along the top(under The Forest of Dean Family History).
I would normally go to the Forum from the top options. I am only able to get to the Forum via the Latest Message Board Postings.
Paul.

There was a problem with the Home page which I fixed soon after I received your message describing the details of what was going wrong. I did not advise you that it had been rectified at the time as I wanted to re-check it today to make sure everything was still OK.
