Does the same to me too. Gave up on it in the end. But it is frustrating when you try not to double post, but can't search previous threads.

If you click on the "advanced search", it won't do that( you can search).

Yep, me too...first I kept getting Luxire (I complained on their affiliate thread--but it was immediately deleted ...) and now it's Natty Shirts... very annoying, but thanks for the tip cchgn....I found that shifting from Internet Explorer to Firefox worked as well.....

Surely it's counter-productive for them to do this.....

Hello. I have windows xp and use a firefox browser. The search tool seems to work fine for me. But I also do notice at times, when you desire to post of go from one place to another, it seems to take forever for a new page to load?

it said its been supported for 11 years and its time to move theyre support to more newer issues
just a way to sell newer systems and pcs

I'm sorry for those of you who are having this problem. We've been trying unsuccessfully to get this to happen on the machines we have access to. It seems to be a Windows or IE version issue.
There are lots of very good reasons to keep your systems and browsers up to date. Security being foremost.
Once you're working with upgraded software, please let us know if the issue persists.
