You have three comboboxes when you push the search button and one of them is called "Search Forum". I suggest this combobox should select a string based on the page the user previus have visit. Zeblar Nagrim, Lord of Chaos

If I understand you correctly, you''re asking for an option to search every page you''ve ever visited? Well, for that to be possible, we''d have to log which pages our users are visiting, which we don''t currently do. And there''s a reason we don''t do that. We currently show over 100,000 pages every day. The logs would become huge. So, it''s not something we can really do.

Actually, he wants the search page to default to the forum he was last in before he pressed the search button.

I think all you'd have to do is have a variable added to each page to denote what forum it belongs to. (Probably already done) Then pass that variable to the search page so that the forums name automatically comes up as the default forum to search. It would a bit more code to the search page as you'd probably want a select/case statement instead of an If/Then/Else statement to identify the passed variable.
