A number of people have reported problems posting to the form (missing Add button etc). I haven't made any changes so this is currently a mystery to me. I'll have to look into this but a fix won't be forthcoming until next week at the earliest. In the meantime, try a different browser.

I have not experienced any such problem, neither in IE8 nor in Firefox 3.6.

I'm a new user but I found out what is causing it! A huge amount of people use Ad-block plus (ADP) with firefox/Chrome and it appears ADP is blocking your add button. It seems that ADP is blocking it perhaps because the way it is picking up the word "add", it displays it as "AdD". Perhaps it is seeing it as ("Ad"D). And of course this program is made to block an "Ad". ;)

I hope that helps. If you are using ADP and want to fix this. Go and make a post (where the "add" button should be) and click the ADP stop sign looking icon on your browser of choice and select "Open Blockable items". From there you will see a pop up menu appear on your screen. You should see a line in red. That red line means it is blocking the add button. Just right click the red line and click "disable filter". That will fix it for you, until (maybe) the site developer fixes that little error.

Since I solved this issue, please implement my multichannel search function idea. :D :P A fair trade I would say. :)

I had this problem for some time a while back, but it only lasted like, a week.

Interesting and I hope it is a general solution. However, I had this problem, briefly, on my office PC which, due to University restrictions, cannot load ADP with FF. However, my home PC, which has ADP, has not had this problem. Both were OK with IE.

I see that the button label is now "Post." ;-)
