Can't find the search facility
Hi all, I'm new to the forum and in the FAQ it says there is a search box but for the life of me I can't see it!

Re: Can't find the search facility
Welcome Angie. You may need to post a few times and get post approval before the full facilities of the forum are available to you. What are you looking for? Let us know and I feel sure some of the sages on here will be able to help you.

Re: Can't find the search facility
There is a search facility but it is not available until after you have made a number of ' approved ' posts. You can ' post ' within another Member's Topic but you will not be able to raise your own Topic(s) .... initially.

What's the harm searching and looking at posts even though you cannot join in right away.
