can't search the message boards

[JMYanussi2]

despite my logging in, I can't search the boards for particular posts. i always get an error message saying I either need to log in (which I've already done) or I don't have permission to do that. how can this be? should any member be able to search the threads for keywords?

The search function is only available to those who have donated money to ENWorld. As I understood it, it's a little thank-you for those who keep the boards running, financially.

you can find more info by following the link at the top of each page, right below the ENWorld banner.

thanks

I guess I am torn by the answer. I can understand the reasoning, i guess. I don't think I've encountered this situation before. I can sympathize with the site, knowing that labor intensive activities often require financial assistance, but the price also seems a bit high, just for me to be able to search the boards. I think I would gladly support the site at a lower threshold, but I am not sure if I can meet these standards.

thanks for the help though. I must have missed that (obviously). Still new to the site, but i think its very good.
