The search facility

Recommended Posts

I told someone to search for an old post under my Username - tried it myself, stunningly the seach facilities claim that nothing is to be found under the name of Penny29, now I know this isn't true even though I seem to lose hundreds of posts everytime LF has changed it's format (But I ain't bitter!)!!!!

What am I doing wrong or is it a fault in the system?

I think you will find that you have to search using the

posters registered e-mail address.  This

can be difficult for people other than yourself (i.e. looking for your own

posts) as the registration e-mail address is “secret” and not revealed to

others

Thanks for the advice Ian,

 

How plain daft - hope someone with influence has read this thread! Like many others I am keeping my email address completely private, but it would help many of the regular contributors if searches could be carried out using a username. I'll be honest, that sort of search also helped me figure out someone's credibility in the past & enabled me to make an educated guess as to whether a PM from someone I didn't know was bona fide or not.

Mods - PLEASE change this aspect of the search facility and soon!
