What is the Premium Plus upgrade? Is that the conversion deal you mentioned a while back, that you said you would be offering to grandfathered members?

Correct.

The features that were available on the site when we acquired it remain available to Grandfathered and Lifetime members (userlevels 10 and 11, respectively, and shown at the bottom of every screen).

Some features we've added and will add beyond what the site used to have will only be available to renewable-type subscribers or Premium-Plus. Those folks who bought Lifetime subscriptions last month got a year of Premium-Plus in the deal. And those who bought a year of Premium-Plus prior to yesterday (including those who bought Lifetime last month) will have the expiration date of that level set to 11/24/2005.

Advanced Search is one of the features only available to those levels. There are a few other features also currently available that are intended only for Premium-Plus and will soon be made available only to those levels. Examples include the ability to step through an author's messages, search an author's posts from their profile (coming soon), and set "Next nn" to numbers other than 10.

We'll try to come up with a more user-friendly way of explaining these distinctions.

Basically, levels below 10 have limited posting ability and no access to a number of features, levels 10 and 11 have unlimited posting ability and access to most features, and levels 20 and higher have access to everything.

We've made a start of it here: siliconinvestor.com
