Ooh, I didn't know that. That makes sense. Will bookmark it as suggested in the meantime. Thanks.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I put it in the "Links" folder of my IE Favorites so it has its own button.
One of the things we want to do is keep people who aren't logged-in members from searching for posts.
We do? We're not doing a very good job of hiding the search engine, then. I don't have strong feelings either way, I'm just saying.
It's an eventual goal, I meant. Nothing now is stopping them except that they maybe can't find it.
Once it is no longer beta, perhaps it could be only accessible from the editprofile.php page?
Well, once it's no longer beta, it should be accesible only to logged-in members the same way the posting box is. Anyone can click on the "search thread" button, but if you're not logged in you get a "Sorry, only registered members can access this function. Please register or log in" message instead of a page of results.
That's wonderful. I love technology (as a user).
The plan is to have it in the left hand column, with read new and bookmarks and other things that only appear to registered users. That way you can have the choice of only searching the thread you were reading when you clicked the link.

That's not the same way the posting box works. It's just not visible if you're not logged in.

HMOG, that's so hot.
