A question about subscriptions

Free, just start a new topic per each.

It says that I need to download a subscription.

See the 'Ask a Question' on the bottom right of the screen. Click it and pick the category. You must be looking at something different. Perhaps you could tell us how you got to that screen.

It says with the express lane I am only able to do 10 searches in a day. Correct?

10 downloads a day. Searching is unlimited.

Asking questions on this forum has always been free. I hope that never changes.

We are all volunteers here, so until someone pays me, then they can start charging

Looking forward to answering your questions.

Not to highjack this post, but I have a question along the same lines. On most all the forum posts someone (Same person, autobot?) has posted the answer and it is blurred out and says that a subscription is needed. When did this start happening?

When a post is marked as "best answer", a fee is required to view it. You can purchase a subscription for as little as five dollars to gain access to it and all "best answer" posts.

This started happening about a month ago to curb spam that was plaguing this website. People were signing up, getting what they needed, and that was that. The community was not benefiting from all the registrations.

In order to grow a community, everyone needs to pull their own weight. This new initiative will hopefully counter that issue we were having.
