I suddenly woke up and realized that there’s no advertising any longer here. But I’ve also noticed the multi quote function doesn’t work properly and I can’t click to get a smiley on.

Is this all because I need to get back to paid subscriptions to get everything working again ?

Odd, cause I still have the search function .

Sounds more like a cookie issue.

Try clearing your cache and rebooting and see if that doesn’t bring you back to where you should be.
