Searching the SketchUCation forum
-
There was another thread where a forum user was wondering how to search the forum for 3 letter words, or to do other special searches.
For example, try searching for PDF in the search box in the upper right corner, or using the advances search - nothing is found.
However, you can also search just the forums using a standard Google search, using the site search format:

We didn't want to have ads anywhere on our Forum.
Also, it someone was searching for "Nighttime Scene" on our site, they might get an ad for one of our competitors, sites.
So it is worth $100.00 per year to eliminate the ads.
