I just did this and found I wasn't a trusted member. Couldn't recall what I'd done recently to get dawghoused for. I checked and I'm a trusted member, but not when I come into a thread via Google. Can this be fixed? Not a big deal since I'm usually looking for reviews of some game that isn't brand new. But an irritation none the less. |

I've never had that problem and I only use Google to find TMP threads pretty much. |

Never had that problem either. Not something I do really often but semi-regularly. On the other hand I use yahoo. |

OK, just used Google to find this thread and no problem. Then I used Google to find "Imperial Lancers:Grand Tactical Napoleonic Rules " and I'm not a trusted member. Weird. |

Might be a cache problem, if you'd been to the webpage previously as a non-trusted member??? |

Well, presumably google indexes all the content using an anonymous web crawler, so the search results will come up in the context of that account. Probably best not to trust google too much:) |

Colons are special characters in Google searches. That could cause problems. |
