Attention and Welcome, New Members
Welcome to FlyerTalk!
FlyerTalk features discussions and chat boards that covers the most up-to-date traveler information. An interactive community dedicated to your favorite topic: travel! That's right: all travel, all the time. The FlyerTalk forums are open for business 24 hours, 7 days a week. Even better, all travelers -- from vacation travelers to mileage junkies -- are welcome in the community. Just choose a forum and you can get to the business at hand: conversing about programs, how to make the most of your miles and points, general travel, airports, destination and dining information.
If you're not registered (free) and signed in, there are a number of features that will not be available to you. If you haven't done so, register here. It's free, it's easy! (You must accept cookies from FlyerTalk. If you do not accept cookies from FlyerTalk, FlyerTalk will not work correctly on your device.)
NOTE: If you're a new member, you will notice you're "throttled back" for a short time until we get to know you better. This is because some clever spammers have visited us and made these temporary restrictions necessary. Before long, you'll no longer be trammeled and will have full access with the same freedoms - and common sense community Rules - that apply to all of us.
NOTE: Click on HELP in the right of the main menu bar at the top of every page for other useful links, such as a Glossary and list of airport codes etc.
If you enjoy FlyerTalk, be sure to check out other Internet Brands websites, such as NOLO for legal information, WebMD for health information, and many more. See the full list here .

Searching for information on FlyerTalk
FlyerTalk Advanced Search can seem quirky to the infrequent user, but it's fairly powerful if one knows how to use it.
Some resources for searching FlyerTalk:
Canarsie's Using the Search Feature on FlyerTalk: The Definitive Thread has relocated to the Information Desk Forum; it can be found there.
One can search FlyerTalk with Google with this web form.
Or, if you are used to Google search, go to Google and preface your search terms with site:www.flyertalk.com in the box on the main page, along with your search terms.
Or, use Google Advanced Search and insert www.flyertalk.com in the site or domain: box.
Other options using Google from FT Moderator essxjay:
"If I only need search results from FT I make it explicit e.g., site:flyertalk.com "Amanwana", which returns just 671 results rather than tens of thousands.
And since you know which forum to look in you could refine the above even further to search just the luxury hotels/travel forum. Thusly, site:flyertalk.com inurl:luxury-hotels intext:Amanwana. That returns 629 hits.
Here's a nifty 10 minute overview of advanced search operators if you're so inclined."

Use of non-approved software to "enhance" viewing of FlyerTalk.
We are proud of the fact that FlyerTalk is free to members. The reason it is free is because it is supported by our advertisers. Please consider: the use of pop-up blocking and / or use unapproved modifying software deprives Internet Brands, FlyerTalk's owner, of the advertising income that enables IB to offer FlyerTalk free of membership fees or charges
We thank you for turning off your pop-up blocking software when using FlyerTalk. If there's an ad or ad source that is causing problems, please report it so Admin / Tech can take action to eliminate problem or inappropriate advertisements for everyone's benefit. (If you do default to use of tracking protection or ad blocking, please add FlyerTalk to your OK or "white" list.)
Please note that posts discussing or advocating the use of pop-up blockers will generally be summarily deleted. Note some members have experienced malfunctions and display anomalies whilst using ad blocking software. There can be no stated or implied warranty of merchantability with vBulletin software or FlyerTalk when add-on software is used to mediate its activity. Technical issues members may experience resulting from the use of ad blocking software will not be attended here.
Thank you for your consideration and for helping keep FlyerTalk free to members.

You are getting a database error. In my experience those are infrequent and may be cookie connected in some instances. The easiest way to clear that is to make a post in the thread, at which point the database (and cookie?) will reset for a normal experience.
(We'll move these posts to the database errorbthread soon. /Co-Moderator)
