New Vortex Viper HD 5-25X50 Scope Review

Posted: 4/24/2001 4:28:21 AM EDT

On the old site, I often searched for posts by my user name. It was a way to keep up with threads in which I had an interest (had made a contribution). It also allowed me to find cogent threads and then refer people who were interested in a subject that had been covered previously.

Please consider reinstating that feature to the search option.

At the moment search is still very basic and check topics and not replies. This will change and search will be grown to check a number of items which you all are interested in.

I have to agree with PigPen on this one. There was a thread in the GD forum that I wanted to follow up on from a week or two ago and now I can't find it. I would be nice to be able to search on all my posts and to search for key words within a topic.

I have a folder in my Favorites called Threads I'm Watching. When I find something I'll want to see again, I bookmark it in this Folder. Hope this helps.

As long as I am making requests, uh...turn off all of those distracting, immature, childish animations. The original smiles were quite helpful but it's been down hill since.

Search will now check the author, subject title, AND all reply authors.

The author names MUST match (in order to speed up the search) so if you type "goat" you will get any topics with the word "goat" or variation thereof as a result, but only topics where an author or reply poster is named "goat".

Hope this helps.
