I had problems with the “search in forum” feature. The “select” input control is displayed, but it seems as if the value i choose isn’t used by the code.

When I press submit, this is he URL that is sent to the web server:

http://my.hostname.com/forum/search.php?search=nisse&forum-id=2

In this example, the forum restriction does not take effect.

However,

if i manually change the URL to:

http://my.hostname.com/forum/search.php?search=nisse&forum_id=2 (note the underscore; forum_id)

then it works!

I can track it down to the file:

/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php

and this code:

if ( $forum ) {

$r .= "t<div><label for="forum-id">" . __('Forum') . "</label>n";

$r .= "tt<div>" . bb_get_forum_dropdown( array( 'selected' => $q_forum_id, 'none' => __('Any'), 'id' => 'forum-id

' ) ) . "</div>n";

$r .= "t</div>nn";

}

Changing forum-id to forum_id here fixes the problem, but I would prefer not to tamper with core files.
