whenever i try to "search" for a game to add to my collection, nothing shows up any more (no search results). the page itself is done loading, but the dots (on the page itself below the search) that shows it's loading still move, and nothing shows up. this has been happening for over a week now. i nevevr used to have this problem. running vista 2GB RAM on firefox 2.  broadband connection.

anybody else having this problem?

apparently, this is a browser-specific problem. i just tried it out in IE7 and it's working fine. but the problem isn't resolved. i don't use IE for specific reasons. none too specific aside from the fact that IE sucks. if anyone has an answer to resolve this let me know.

Well, I'm using IE7. And for the past week I keep getting "Search is Unavailable." It will work sometimes, but its been not working a whole lot.

I get no search results with the dots as well with internet explorer and firefox. I turned off my firefall and it worked, but why should I have to do that? I'm using Norton Internet Security 2002, but I never had problems with this until the site changed a couple months ago and I've permitted everything from this site and even tried putting security to minimal but it only loads if the firefall is off completely. I'm more concerned about security then searching for games though and other than this problem my firefall works really good.

if i re-install firefox and then go back to search, it will work for a few hours, then stop working after that. it's pretty annoying.
