That image is too small to read.

[Bob Isaac]

Here it is again. There is code showing where I don't think it should.

Looks like a custom style problem. Try this. Create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Then change to this style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

[Freddie Bingham]

To me, it appears that you tried to edit the appearance of the search button by modifying the blog_sidebar_generic template.

[Bob Isaac]

No Freddie, I have not changed anything, this was the way it looked right after installation. I will try Steve's suggestion on my dev site later when I have more time.

Yes, it is still there.

I had changed the colour of the word 'Search' on the forum nav bar to yellow with
<font color="yellow">SEARCH</font> Found the edit in phrase manager. The blog search box obviously did not like that.

Bob

[Freddie Bingham]

Yes, that would do it. Can't include HTML where the word "Search" is used for the title of the search button.

[Bob Isaac]

It was not the button I wanted to change the colour of it was the word Search in the navbar next to New Posts. Obviously I went the wrong way about it.

We used the same phrase in both places. To avoid breaking the blog, you would have to edit the navbar template to change the color of the search link.
