when i do a "search all" I do get 1 user listed, but then it shows 17 pages but those pages wont open, i think i found a bug fix for that, i will run that fix and report back.
Kind of figured as this was a brand new install past bug fixes would have been upgraded on the new download.
Guess that still doesn't explain if i can just run a username and do a manual subscription for them with out them doing anything at all on their end.
