'Work Mule' came up with an excellent mod a while ago, to include an enhanced search form as a replacement for the original search form supplied with the basic snitz forum.
The Enhanced Search Mod link has a single file to download.
I was wondering if we could amend the inc_header.asp file to include an 'Advanced Search' link next to the original 'Search' link next to the FAQ.
Obviously it should be possible, if that is the case, could someone provide the necessary code for the change.
It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Andy

Just FYI, HuwR added a nifty hidden feature for the forums here - [scrollcode] tags. If you put your code in these tags it won't push the table out like that.

Its not a prominent feature because we don't want to give the impression that its a part of the base code.

Sorry Anon I usually do if the code is long in length but width is usually not a problem so I didn't notice it.

As an additional query, when adding these extra links at the top of inc_header.asp, if there is some more links the list word wraps onto an extra line. Home | Profile | Register | Active Topics | Members | Search | FAQ
Is there a way of ensuring the 'Home |...' link can be moved across to the left, so the following links do not word-wrap (Just to tidy it up)
kindest regards

The problem with trying to force it on to one line is that when people are viewing your site at different screen resolutions, it could cause side scrollbars. Allowing the text to wrap as necessary keeps everything nice and tidy. That said, if you want to ensure there won't be any word wrapping, change all spaces in the menu text to &nbsp;. You may also look into expanding the size of the table cell(s) the menu resides in.

You could also minimize the amount of links in that area, which might help.

What I did to keep both search pages available is include a link to the advanced search page at the bottom of the basic search page. I left the links in the header alone.

If you want to check this out.

Add the following to search.asp just before the WriteFooter on line #737:
Response.Write "<center><b><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""./search_advanced.asp"">Advanced Search</a></font></center><br>" & vbNewLine
