No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

I put it in the "Links" folder of my IE Favorites so it has its own button.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

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).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Right, sorry. I meant "by using whatever mechanism allows the posting box to only show up if you're logged in."
