Wierd question on searching POTN forums on the iPhone

HarrisonClicks · 2nd of December 2009 (Wed)

Bear with me - maybe I am alone here.

I surf this forum all the time. Especially on the iPhone. But when I try and search the forum for a topic, and I click "Search" and it brings up the dialog box to enter the search along with the iPhone keyboard, the first character I enter immediately closes the dialog box and i am back to the main screen again. If i hit search AGAIN, it brings up the dialog box to enter the search and the keyboard appears again (just as before) - but this time it allows me to enter the search terms and does not prematurely close the dialog box. This happens EVERY time I try a search. I always have to try it twice, and the second time always works. And it only happens trying to search on POTN... not on other internet pages.

Does this happen to anyone else? Anyone know why? Or is it just one of those bug things.

I get that search problem too. I've but a bookmark to the advanced search page and the search from there works fine
