On the search.php page it has stuff already in the search box that shouldn't be there.

Yeah I know, its on the list of changes. Apparently they manually fixed it by editing the forum search files, and when i updated the forums it broke it again. I told them editing the forum files is not acceptable and they will have to find another way.

it looks like the entire search page is broken pretty heavily. I am not averse to it if they can make a product that simply edits the offending code in whatever version forum file is currently installed, but i am not sure how universal the changes they made were.
