The server's been installed and the process that was causing the issues has been removed from the forum server. I did a lot of maintenance on everything as well. It seems this has resolved the problems the forums have been experiencing for the past 2 weeks.

Sky, the search isn't "stuck" on that query, that's just a default query I put there to give folks an idea of what kind of thing they should enter. It goes away as soon as you click on the box.

Thanks for all of your patience!
