Question on how to use the search feature

vagabond · 12-31-07, 02:17 AM

I was watching tv today and Bill Dance was throwing a rediclious looking buzz bait made by Booyah. It was called Dancin' Buzz or something like that.

I did a search for Dancin' Buzz and this is the message I get when I try to click on any of the links that came up...

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /bassfishingforums/showthread.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

When I scroll over the links, I'm able to read first section of what's written in each thread. Just when I click on it it gives me the forbidden message. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Hey Vagabond,

Without getting too geeky, if you put an apostrophe somewhere in the search query, such as Dancin', it's going to try to highlight that apostrophe'd word on the threads and because of poor programming, that apostrophe isn't encoded properly for a URL and thus causes havoc, showing the file does not exist. It's just a bug that hopefully will soon be fixed.

But in the mean time, just type in 'Dancin Buzz' in the search without the apostrophe and all will work as planned. Sorry for the headache!

I'd like to try one of the Dancin' Buzz baits. They look interesting.
