When I click on the search this then go to advance and try to search with my nick a drop down menu comes up. I'm using firefox browser, and it ONLY happens on firefox browser. I tried with IE6 and no drop down menu. How can I disable that on here?

You mean a drop down list with (possibly) only your name listed?

I guess so, No idea what you meant, but when I click on Search forums and go to where you type your nickname to search a drop list comes up there. Hope that make sense. It only does it on Firefox browser.

Yeah, I think we're on the same page. That's a feature of firefox. You can get rid of it by turning of storing of private data, or you can change the settings so that it still stores your usernames etc. but not stuff you enter into forms.

This can be accessed by going to Tools, then Options, it's in the privacy tab, in the very last section.

If you click settings, you'll see a list of what it can save and what it is saving. To remove the current entries, simple click clear private data and uncheck the boxes you don't want it to save.

Hope this helps/ makes sense

If you're referring to tools options private data setting, uncheck saved from information. I have unchecked that. Still does the drop menu on this search forum on the nickname.

Could you include a screenshot?

No idea how about find the screenshot, but it seems not this forum that does it. Other forms does it as well.

To get the screenshot:

1. Get to the search part where the box comes up
2. Press the Prt Sc button on your keyboard
3. Go to a photo editor, paint will do
4. Press Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot into paint
5. Go to File Save As, Give it a name and change the format to .jpeg
6. Come back here, press the Go Advanced button, then 'Manage attachments'
7. Browse for your picture, select and upload it
8. Make your post.

Ok there it is. Its where the you type your nick to search.

The one that has 'Find Posts By User' ?

 

[Go The Power]

That drop down menu is to give you the choose to search posts by a user or to search threads started by the user. This is part for the forum. You can't disable it.
