Bloody thing - enter my search, select the forum, key the stupid "Image
Verification" number, hit search and "Page cannot be displayed" - every time
I try it's the same...

Same here. If you refresh the image a couple of times it seems to work,
though.

I use the facepunch forums now - not as mature as Steam's, but at least you
can post on them (when you gain enough "I can spell" points).

Hehehe, thanks G. I did try refreshing many times though, and, when I wasn't
getting the "you put the wrong code in" nonsense, I was getting the "Page
not..." crap.

Oh no, you're not one of these Firefox zealots are you? Are you saying the
Steam forums don't work with IE?

I believe I was making fun of you for using an inferior browser...

hehehe, so you ARE one of them eh? ;o)

I once met a guy who admitted to being a Mac-Zealot. He actually said to me:

"I mean, how many Dell users do you hear saying 'I REALLY love my Dell?'
Because I REALLY love my Mac!"

I suppressed a shudder. In fact I had to suppress one just now. Blimey, here
comes another one! I'm getting out of here...

Nah, I'm jut making fun of you for coming out with "What the F****
with stinking Steam Forum Search????" and using an inferior browser :)

It was a little strong, although, if you count my asterix*, you'll realise
that I was actually only using the minor obscenity "Flipp" (we spell it with
two P's where I come from, or something.)

I think what got me so angry so fast was that I had a sudden memory of
trying to use their stinking search function before and having suffered the
same nonsense. Of course, it could all be that my computer is f*xxored (as
they say where my people come from or something.)

*deliberate miss-spelling - why? Dunno.
