Hi
How do I look for a particular member by their rootschat name?   I have tried searching rootschat but it wouldn't search by profile.

Thanks

Hi Kris
Its probably me, but it wont let me 'click' on the 44611, almost anything else except that.  I tried following the links on your page and they didn't like me either.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi Devongirl,

I seem to recall that you need to have 100 posts for it to start working...

Hi Devongirl

A couple of suggestions:

~If you are looking for someone who has contributed to one of your threads, or vice versa, you can look at your old posts by going to your Profile, then Last Posts of this Rootschatter & paging through

~If you have just seen a thread that this person has contributed to, you can use the "Search Rootschat" facility above - use the advanced version for a more detailed search.[/li]


~Tell us who you are looking for & maybe we can find them for you (we have a little experience in this field, lol!  Lips Sealed Grin )

kind regards, Arranroots  Wink

Hi Arranroots

It was a contact who had been suggested as they were searching the same surname as me.  I didn't like to put a message with their name on.  But with great perseverance I searched every field until I eventually found her.  Roll Eyes

I am grateful for all the help.

best wishes

Ah, you are quite right not to put their real name - I should have said their Rootschat name.

Well done for finding them though!

You can also try the Surname Interests Table to see who else is searching for the same names as you.  (And you can add your own to attract others!)

Hi krisesjoint,
For some reason Im not seeing 'More Stats' under Users & Guests.  Is this problem new, or am I excluded from using this function these days?

Thanks
