All I want is that if I search for threads I replied to, I get the Green Arrow that takes me to where I last was in that post. Instead you have to read the entire post Again to see what was posted after your garbage.

Oddly enough, this method has recently stopped working as well. I've noticed the fidelity of search results isn't as high as it once was, particularly when trying to find a member profile.

It must be above top secret as it remains sucking for the 13 years I have been here.
