New website design...

[VAUmp]

I have a couple of questions for the admin:

1.  The search function doesn't seem to work as it used to.  There is no button to search "forums" anymore.  I was trying to search and typed in the word "Wilson" and received no results.  Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is there a glitch that isn't allowing me to search?

2.  Whenever I click on a new topic to read, it automatically goes to the last post of the thread.  Is there any kind of setting that I can change that will default me to the first post in a thread?  This isn't a big deal, it's just kind of annoying.  

 

Thanks for your time and help!!
