Hi Bodger,

Did you scroll the page down having done your search.  The reply is listed below a new blank form usually off the bottom of the screen which is a bit confusing first time.

Also be aware that there is no link between what you put in your profile and what you put in the Surname Interests Table.

Hi Bodger,

David has supplied the most likely answer:

and I have taken your comment on board and changed the SIT so that the browser jumps "into" the results table, when anything is found. 

I hope this will help, to make it more obvious when anything has been found.

Hi All,

I've now changed the output.

  • Fill in the form, and click on Search
  • you will now see a line X Entries found (where X may be 0)
  • then you will see the results of your search (if X greater than 0  ;D )
  • and at the end of the list, the form will be outputted again

Hope this works out better for everybody (feedback always welcome)  :)

Bob
