I am putting in a search using "battery AND permagreen" and clicking on the pesticide forum to search in. A page comes up with search results, but it is all shaded and I cannot do anything with it. Any ideas?

it's an ad for permagreen that shows up first right? you can click on the "x" and the ad will disappear and you will be able to see the search results

No,...no ad for PG. Just the result page full of threads, but it is shaded and no x.

I just did the same search and there is an ad which you are able to click off of...are you sure you didn't scroll down? if you did, you will have to scroll back up to the top of the page to click off of the ad

Same here. I even searched "battery", and nothing came up. We revamped our PG's with "motorcycle batteries", and I know I made several posts about it some years back. Still nothing whatsoever after doing as many searches as I could figure out. Weird.

I wonder if they were deleted to make room for more bandspace? I would sure HOPE not! I can see alot of useless blather that could be easily taken before info like THAT! I think it actually YOUR thread(s) and photos I was looking for.

No, there must be a breakdown, somewhere. I just pout in a search with the word permagreen, and it brought up one post - about Z-Spray. I then backed out, reset, and did it again,...and it came up the shaded screen again. I'm thinking some tech support is in order.

i am trying to duplicate your problem. i typed in the search exactly what you said, and i get the ad too. i click the x to get rid of the ad, then there are 3 pages of threads to look at. i am not seeing anything shaded.

and after clicking the "x" to remove the ad here are the search results that were yielded in just the pesticide forum

Now I click on your hyperlink and it comes up the same. I see the threads, but can't get to them. It is shaded over.

Odd, I just did the search for myself, and after closing the ad I can see several pages of threads, including this one, lol.

Ok,...Got it. I had to disable my pop up blocker for this page. That thing works great!
