You can only search if you’re a member. Pony up the $15 and go a-searchin’. Cheers. ---

[QUOTE=jestem] How do I find a person that posted something looong long time ago??? if still- I see the post but can’t answer neither be sure she/he still belongs here??? [/QUOTE] I am not sure exactly what you are asking. If poster with a join date of more than a month ago is listed as a “Guest” that means they have let their membership lapse and they no longer belong to the SMDB. The e-mail listed in their profile may or may not still work. Those listed as “Members” or “Charter Members” (plus moderators, administrators, and the SDSAB) are members in good standing. They must have a functioning e-mail address, but they may have chosen not make that available to other members. I am moving this thread to About This Message Board, and editing the title for clarity.

I can only imagine what this thread title was like before it was edited for clarity. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Y o u] **jestem** Just post what you want searched on and someone will gladly do it for you. [/QUOTE] We will? What’s the point of paying to search then? ---
