How do you find threads started by a particular poster?
I thought you put the name into the 'posted by' box and then chose Search Thread Titles, but this has never worked awfully well. I get threads started by all sorts of people, and sometimes a thread or threads started by the poster I'm looking for are included; it's hard to tell one from the other though. I have to read the few words displayed and guess.
(Incidentally, in order to narrow the search down I sometimes do it again but include a particular topic. I was wondering if you could lump all the Locals together under Local, and put in an extra layer so that when we do want a topic we don't have to scroll through the million Local topics to get to Style & Beauty or whatever?)
And while I'm at it - sorry - I'm using an iPad, get here using Safari, I don't think I'm using the mobile version. I find the means of choosing a topic under Advanced Search a bit cumbersome. Scrolling through a very long drop down list (see para above ), then clicking the little arrows, then going through the next list... Can we not just tick the topics we want in the first drop down box and take it from there?
Thank you, xxx.
