No I did understand what you said but I don't agree with it.

However..it's your website and you make the rules.. just expect a lot more repetitive questions and maybe a few complaints as well! (and I suspect you will also get a few more PUTMs as well)

If I have a question, I first do a search to see if it has already been answered then I maybe look at FAQ's then post it. Now I will have to post it first and let the PUTMs search for me.

An anothher option, How about giving me the option as a BUTM to view/search any threads I have participated in?

As I said, it's your choice and I must respect that.

Regards

Will

That message was also stating why no link was effective. The search feature has also always been promoted to PUTM members only. If that option would have been designed for all members, that message would have never shown up in there.
