This is the very first forum I have EVER seen that has no search capability and my forum experience goes back to the mid-1980s!

Without a search function, the forum is guaranteed to be filled with duplicate comments and requests because no sane user is going to attempt to read all existing posts to see if their question is already here!

Finally, if the only way to get search functionality is to enable ads on this site, may I remind you that most (or all) of us are paying customers who purchased the game. Our purchase was not permission for you to see advertisement space on our screens! On the other hand, if you just haven't found someone competent enough to add a search feature, you might want to hire or at least contract a web design and coding expert.
