   Hey guys,

   So it appears that I've somehow disabled my search bar in the customizing I've. Here's the site: http://www.spendlessonlife.com/forums

   I can't type in the search box, or click on Search.

   Any ideas on how to fix it?

   Thanks in advance.

   You have the divs nested improperly or something like that. Take a look at this page (when you're not logged in):

   http://www.spendlessonlife.com/forums/bb-login.php

   You can search from there just fine. So, it's like the search is behind another div and you can't click on it.

   Take a look at these 3 screenshots taken using the web developer toolbar for firefox. The red outlined area is the current element being highlighted and the toolbar shows the name of that element. I suspect you didn't intend for these elements to be positioned this way?

   (why so much to the right?)

   (why so wide, and why does it include the search box)

   (look how low it goes)

   Also, check when I hover the mouse in the search input field: the toolbar shows
   form .login , but nothing about the search div.

   (the cursor is a crosshair in the search input)

   I suspect that's a clue to why you cannot access the search input or the search button: it's "behind" the login form.

   Ah, okay. Yeah that makes sense. Didn't know about that FireFox add-on. Definitely going to get it. :) Thanks!
