Again, this is the only website that does it. Why can't the people that run this site even respond? Why do they have no interest in this problem, or the search problem? They sure had no problem responding and repairing the problem when the link to a sponsor broke. Maybe the members should be complaining to the sponsors that we never use their links, because navigating this site is too difficult.
Oh, and I had to copy and paste this respose from the advanced page to the quick reply window.

I kept IE also, but I guess that you could go to "Add and Remove Programs" and get rid of it if you need the hard drive space...

There is no easy way to get rid of IE, Microsoft made sure of that.

I don't expect people to go changing their browser just to surf this site anyway. I'm working on a write up right now for IE people to use to clear the site cookie and hopefully get up and running again.

You can get an external DVD burner for about 50 bucks:

They had the site down for maintenance last night (I was caffeinated). Whatever they did didn't help.
