Try it again, doing this exactly as described. If you select the option to show as "Posts" instead of "topics", it's only 4 pages.
- Click on "Search" at the top of the forum page
- Leave the search by key word blank, and type Snow Dog in the Search by user name (Optional) field
- In the find posts field, click on the down arrow, and change it to Any date.
- Click start search

There are various options for sorting the results, and you can filter them by putting something in the search for field as well if you know roughly what the title was (""Wings" for example). You can also select to see the topic names only. |
I tried everything Bob. Before the changes we weren't limited to 25 pages.

 I found it difficult to expalin too.  I don't know the words. You know if you click on "Topic Starter" or "rplies" in a section, it purs them in otder, alphabeticaly i the case of "Topic Starter". I'm an "S", so my topics aren't revealed as irs beyond the 25 page limit. If I make a search, this function doesn't exist anyway. Thats the best I can expalein ir .

Not good. Because you cannot click on the Topic Starter, to organise the search.
You can do this without setching, but because mt name begins with "s" its not include due to the 25 page limit!

Good points Hugues, I agree 100% with 1 and 2 especially! |
I personally greatly miss the back to the top page and I think this should exist in the database as well, because some of these pages are so long (reviews) that you have to scroll back from hell to get out of the page or start dragging with the scroll bar thing >> much simpler with those Back to top

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
