searching tips

How do I search for a post that I was involved in a while back on a particular subject?

Click on 'Advanced' enter a keyword or two in the search phrases, enter your user name in the Return Only Posts Written By box and you should have it.  Can't remember a keyword?  Just click on your user name and select Find all Posts by this user

You can do quite the same by clicking on your login name. This will forward to your profile. You should see a box "Recent Posts". On the bottom of this box is a link called "Find all posts by this user". The posts are sorted by posting time "new to old". So if the post is not too old, you should it find in one of the first pages.

If its quite old, it's probably faster to search for the subject keyword.....

Not everyone on this forum has 10-20k posts.....so maybe there are only few pages of "Recent Posts" 😉

My favorite secret (well not anymore) search method is to click on Ben's name( its everywhere!), view his tag cloud, and select the most appropriate tag.  Works great every time!

Thanks for sharing that. Yet another eason for me to do more "presearch"*.
