Can't use the new FF.net filter option

    I'm having a problem with the new filter option on FF.net where I can't scroll down far enough to submit the search parameters. I can see a button that says 'apply' when the menu drops down, but after that I can only scroll on the results page behind the filter menu.

    On the upside, I can finally get rid of some of that Draco/Snape slash but the downside is filtering is completely broken for me right now. Is anyone else having this problem or am I missing something obvious?

    I was having a few problems with it and it seems to differ each time I used it, so that tells me they're are still dicking around with it working out the bugs. One moment I make a selection and it doesn't take after numerous tries and then the next everything reverts back to the default setting, etc.

    Thanks HoS, that worked. Looks like I was definitely missing something obvious. Hopefully they'll work out any issues soon I guess. I always thought FF.net's filter options were pretty weak so this is a step in the right direction at least.

    For some reason it seems to filter out too much. There are various stories I know have been updated, but when I put the correct filters in (last 24 hours, >10,000 words, All ratings) they don't show up.

    I usually view FFnet zoomed in too, and fixed this same problem by zooming out. The new filters are definitely a step in the right direction, but sadly there are not enough exclude slots for the slash trifecta of Lucius, Snape, and Draco.
