Hello all, just posting here, so that support doesn’t get overflooded and that others can read about it too:

**is there a bug that prevents members from searching on the number of a HE-listing?**

This always worked fine, but it has not worked on my account for quite a while now (weeks). Itis quite annoying. I treid using another browser, too, and it didn;t work then either.

When I search for a listing number, I enter the number in the search field. Then I have to wait for a bar popping up beneath with the text “see home :the home number:” and then press that bar for a search. Then I get the listing:

Yes, That’s what I always did, but it doesn’t work anymore.

I actually don’t really understand what you mean by this … Would you be willing to clarify?

I didn’t fully understand it at first, but now I tried, and it worked! So thank you!
