Hello,

I am trying to search for the translation of a term but I keep getting a page offering a membership deal. Is this a bug or non-paying members can no longer search for translations?

Thanks.

What link are you using to reach the term search page? Jun 28, 2011

Hello Luiza,

Site users can use the term search tool regardless of their membership status. I just tested making a search from http://www.proz.com/search/ as a user and could successfully make the search.

What link are you using to reach the term search page? If you go there from the Terminology tab, you should be able to make a search.

Best regards,
Alejandro

Hi Alejandro, tyvm for your quick reply. On ProZ homepage, the button "Search for translations" repeatedly takes me to this page: http://www.proz.com/membership/campaign

Hello Luiza,

Thanks for pointing this out. I confirm that people who clicked on that button were being redirected to http://www.proz.com/membership/ . This has been fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards,
Alejandro
