Is it possible to search the forum for all posts by a particular user? When I try this it insists on a text string to search for in the subject field as well.

When I am searching for posts by a particular user I use 'a' as the text string and type the username and select 'Search for topics posted in by someone'
This pulls up every topic that person posted (so long as it contained text)

You can get tablets for that mate! Grin

However if I were you I would try going a little more often rather than saving the purge up for every two weeks..... Grin

If you've posted a few questions of your own and answered a few from other people it can be hard to find them all next time you visit. Being able to search for your _own_ posts makes it a lot easier to follow threads you are interested in. It's not so bad on this forum but some forums are excessively sub-divided or even sub-sub-divided.
