a few seconds ago i did a search through the home page and i was confronted with a never ending loop of tabs being created. the tabs continued to be created without any prompt whatsoever. the tabs were all identical to the search query that i had searched for.

not sure if this was a one time thing or a bug but i dont think i want to try it out atm.

ok cant seem to edit my previous post as everytime i hit enter to go to a new line it is saving the post and bringing me back to this page.

anyways i decided to give it one more shot and it seems that no matter what i search it continues to creat multiple pages of the search query. there all identical and they continue in a never ending loop unless u close the fist few tabs really quickly before it has a chance to keep multiplying.

I am assuming you are talking about the search function on HTG.

I searched from this thread using Firefox 3.0.5 and it worked fine.

What page were you on and what browser are you using?
