My problem was I had to clean out the cookies on my computer and I have not had a problem since then

A while back, the website was using too much bandwidth based on the amount of traffic it was getting at the time and the web provider wanted to charge Keith a lot more money for the site based on the amount of bandwidth is was using. To back off on the amount of bandwidth the site was using, they implemented some sort of "search timer" in which each user can only use the search function so many times in a period of time. The unfortunate thing about this is that the actual "search function" is used in many differnt aspects of this site and each time you try to go through the page returns on a search, it counts it as another search.

So you either have to wait a minute or 2 to go to the next page or search, or do what others have done and use Google to search for specific topics or items on Fordification. I know there is a way to specifically do this, but I am not sure of the exact method using Google. I am sure someone else here can answer that.

I've had great success with Google search like this. For example, say you're searching for a Mustang fuel tank option thread, enter your search like this...

"Mustang fuel tank" bobbyford site:fordification.com

This will show everywhere the words "mustang fuel tank" appear side by side and also contains Bobbyford on fordification.com. The first hit will be bobbyford's mustang fuel tank install thread (thanks bobby!) I always log into the forums, then open another tab for Google search. That way when you click on the search topic you're already logged in and can see pics,etc. Entering site:xxxxx.com works for any website too. Search "burnouts" site:YouTube.com and you'll get YouTube videos of burnouts.

Thanks for the tutorial.. Now if I can just commit that method to memory, my life would be a lot easier!
