Every time I attempt to use the "Search The Forums" feature, I'm allowed to enter search criteria, but when I press the "Search Now" button, I receive the following:

There seems to have been a problem with the Bike Forums database.
Please try again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, whom you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

This has been a consistent issue now since BikeForums moved to its new server. Is this problem unique to me, or is it the same for everyone?

I'm running Firefox 1.5.0.4 on a Mac PowerBook if it makes any difference. Thanks!

I only encounter that error when searching by title.

Checkout this thread for the workaround/ temporary solution that worked for me.
