It you are looking at the page in "compatibility view" then its difficult to see and just looks like a shadow

Single word search.

It very difficult to see, that's why some people try to seach using more than one word.

Does anybody test these pages to see what they look like ?

I can barely see it, but did mention it ages ago that if you highlight the box it appears as white text on olive green.

Mine says that too, Mau, but Mr Magoo is referring to the 'Quick Search' above 'Enter Keyword'

I didn't know there were ANY words there until you posted.

When I press my nose on the screen & squint, I can see a brown blobby thing. Does that read "single word search" ??

No wonder I had problems lol :-D

When i posted above about "compatibility view" this may help you to understand

Compatibility View

Sometimes the website you’re visiting doesn't look right. It shows up as a jumble of out-of-place menus, images, and text boxes. What's going on? One possible explanation: The site might have been designed for an earlier version of Internet Explorer. If Internet Explorer recognizes that the webpage isn't compatible, you'll see the Compatibility View button on the Address bar. Try clicking it.



In Compatibility View, websites will be displayed as if you were viewing them in a previous version of Internet Explorer, which will often correct display problems. You don’t need to click the button for a site after you’ve done it once—the next time you visit the site, Internet Explorer 9 will automatically show it in Compatibility View. (If you ever want to go back to browsing with Internet Explorer 9 on that site, just click the Compatibility View button again

Remember the problem members had when their Emoticons disappeared?

Scozz, I thought you said that you worked the "compatibility view" thing out months ago

Isn't the problem that many members have Windows XP which can't support the modern browser versions?

I think most display problems on GR seem to be experienced by XP users.
