    I've been unable to access the search function after trying multiple times during the day. Anyone else having that problem?

    Hi Marni, it works for me. There was a Java software update this weekend, which I installed. It could be that perhaps?

    I am able to access it, but it does not appear to be working properly. I tried to search for cattleya intermedia and received zero results.

    It’s not working. I made separate searches for bicolor and alaorii, respectively. Zero results.

    Worked for Neocogniauxia ... I had to uncheck the box to "search only this forum" ... wonder if a default changed.

    It still isn't working for me on Firefox, I'll try safari and see if that is better.

    This has happened to me before. I believe I did a cache and browsing history delete then a restart.

    Is the cache and browsing history delete done in your browser?

    For me, using Chrome, I go to the symbol directly below the "X" that closes the window. The drop down menu has a "More tools" tab and under that is a "Clear Browsing Data". Give that a try. If you can't find it on Firefox or Safari look in the "help" for clearing browser data.

    I opened Chrome and cleared the browsing data. I still get the error message. I rebooted and still get an error.

    Hmmm... I'll look back at some of my early discussions with Brent and see what I can find. The last few times I have tried to contact him he has been non-responsive.

    Looking back on other discussions Brent said to clear cookies also.

    When you select "Clear browsing data" there should be an additional menu where you can check the box to "Clear cookies". That might help.

    By doing this it may also clear some things that you have been using like remembered passwords, etc.

    Kelly, No it isn't. I've given up for now as I have too much going on.
