Just sorted a problem for a client where the search function was not working. If you tried to search you got this URL http://www.mydomain.com/<span style='color: ?page=search&SS=test&ACTION=Go!&PR=-1&TB=A#000000;'>http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/ss000067.pl</span>.
Clearly a corrupted url but the puzzle was why. Eventually tracked it down to a mod to the variable SearchCGIURL, someone had used the 'edit variable appearance' command and set a color of 000000. The problem then was how to remove it, you do not seem to be able to simply delete the contents of the field as it opens a colour choice menu.
Solution was to edit the Actinic database, look for the variable and remove the faulty code (I compared it to a good database entry.) and now it works fine.
