Question AHHHHH! What happened to the search bar?

yeatzee · 04-09-2011, 06:17 PM

I need to search some stuff but it up and disappeared, and is now replaced by photos and marketplace (or were they already there?). Why?
help??

An announcement of changes like this would be useful Adam

The search box in the upper-right has been there for almost a year now. We actually wanted to gauge how many people still used the deprecated dropdown.

Interesting! I've never used it once in my entire career on PF

It's actually a "smart" search box- for example, if you're browsing the gallery, albums, or lens reviews, it'll search those areas instead of the forum!

Very cool! Learn something new every day here, whether it be photography related or not

I'd just like to reiterate a thank you to the moderators, this is BY FAR the best forum i've ever been with from users to content to the overall website
