I want to play multiplayer, but everytime I click into it, it says "validating pilot" . Then it just times out. What am I to do?
-
There is no PXO anymore, that's why your pilot won't validate. You have to use the new FSDNet. Do a search.

I think the admins need to make the search button really big and flashy, so people see it.

This isn't Google... the search button can be really unhelpful. Sometimes people create a thread about, say, FRED, and people complain that they haven't used the search button. Then I do a search on what the possible key words would be like 'FRED nebulae' and the thread on the top 5 of the list will be the original one. :p In this thread's case, that's not the..er...case. There IS a relevant thread, but it has several pages and vBulletin forces you to sift through it all, which takes a long time and if you're not in the mood for reading, creating a new thread is more convenient and faster. So don't blame him...he's just following human instinct. :p
EDIT: Proof that it is faster is provided by the guy below me, who replied like 2 minutes after my post.

And, by that logic, the search button is useless! :rolleyes:
Not using the Search button is just about as stupid as not having a Works Cited page on a school paper (and you get just about as much **** from other people too).
