Google Search Questions Lead to this Forum....BUT..

Good tip, if a bit small, WattWick That's the 'cached' button for anyone else whose eyes are toast

Also worth noting that most forums' in-built search systems are rubbish, and you're often better off using site-specific search in an actual search engine. For google, for example, if you type

[search terms] site:e-cigarette-forum.com

in the box, you'll probably get better results. Only tenuously relevant to the thread, but hey, I'm working on my post count...

Turned out a bit small, but it is clickable!

That is some nice google-fu you got there, mutant-san. Same kind of search is also good for finding country-specific shops. I.e, I use "site:.uk" a lot.

Thanks

Clicking it doesn't work for me, but I'd guess that's something to do with Iceweasel / Noscript, so you pays your money and you makes your choice, as they say...

You could have saved yourself the sign-up with some google magic. Next time you find yourself in this situation, simply click the buttons I've circled in this screen cap.

perhaps understandably, though you could have logged out to check, and surely remember the 'You are not logged in' notice from this or other forums - they're almost all based on the same few systems...

Sorry but being a webby type geek who builds websites even, I have multiple browsers and usually two open at the same time if not more. So I popped over to one I don't use to log into ECF and have never used on ECF and viewed the place as somebody who just showed up.

I can read New Members--including this thread, the new members info section, the ECF library, the "General" discussion areas, vendor sections, regional and non-English sections, reviews... the only thing I've found that cannot be accessed when not logged in are member profiles.

The troll... erm, I mean OP, wrote:

Since you can't read the answer unless you "register" as a member...

That's not even remotely true.

I even recall the reason I joined up here was because I found so much information before I joined. Also, what the heck is a "Google Search Question" anyway? Is that a new Google product?

I also note the troll... erm, OP... went to the trouble of registering just to snark at everybody instead of, oh, asking the freaking question they said they couldn't find the answer to. What's next? Posting that they're never going to post here?

Nah, it's a troll. That's all.

if there is any way i can offend someone (you know who you are) please let me know.

Well! That's offensive! I'm offended! You are so offensive!

I'm sorry to hear you are disappointed..I hope you continue to look around to find the answers to your questions. I have been a member for awhile and today is the first day I posted--congrats on making the decision to quit! I know it's difficult, but you made a huge first step. I'm thankful I was able to quit, but it took a death and me getting cancer to quit...can't brag about anything here. Vaping has given me to impetus to do something I should have done years ago. Please stick around, read and ask questions. Good luck to you!

Maybe they were a troll, but I repeat: there are links you can't follow if you aren't logged in. Significantly, if someone uploads an attachment and doesn't put it inline in their post. Sometimes these links are the substance of a post, the conclusive point in a debate.

Seems a lot more likely to me that they were just a frustrated person, who didn't understand why they were being asked to provide an email address just to follow a link. It isn't at all obvious to the uninitiated.

I actually prefer searching with Google than using the ECF search box. The results are usually more specific to what I was looking for. It's fast too! ECF appears to be indexed almost in real time. Bot? What bot?

What????????????

I second this
