Or do we have it?

I just spent 20 minutes trying to go back to a post becasue I wanted to see the responces after mine. I didn't remember exactly the title of the post, but I remembered the idea of the post.

Regardless, instead of doing a search for a specific post title, or just going back in pages to look and see if you find what you want,

Is there a way, or can there be a way to search by your username? Sort of searching in reverse.

For example when I pay bills on line, if I want, I can go back and search all the bills I paid to a specific payee, instead of going through my entire register to see if I find the exact bill I was looking for. Same here. I'd like to just click into all the posts that I responded to, by my username, rather then looking at all the posts on the thread to hopefully find the one that I responded to.

Make sence? And, one step further, can that search tell me not only the posts that I responded to, but which section it was in? What I mean is, if I plug in my username, I would like a list to come up of all the posts that I responded to whether it was in
RT/10 & GTS
SRT-10
Off Topic
Performance upgrades

Whatever the section....I don't know, but this would save me lots of time.

Andrew, the search screen allows you to search by Username already - as well as choosing the section. The username field is the last one on the search page - just leave the subject search field blank. It is very helpful - as oftentimes I know who posted the response I'd like to find, but not the name of the thread. Hope this helps.

Okay, but here is an interesting problem. Janni, you are right. Thanks so much for saving me time! BUT, when I go into recent post-topics, it is interesting how or why some of them come up "Can not be found" I wonder why. Some were not so controversial. I wonder why they can not be found. And of course, one of the ones "Can not be found" is the one I wanted!

<FONT COLOR="Black">Andrew - Another way to search on your posts is to click on the search icon at the bottom of any one of your posts; it will search by your username.</FONT c>
