Am I doing something wrong?
If I open up a thread from the result of a search, I am unable to get back to the listing of results of the search without re-entering the details of the search.

Another method is to press the shift-key, while clicking on the link: this also opens a new window.
This method seems to be general, i.e. it also works for any link on RootsChat, including the Search-Button.
It also works for Google and other web-sites, including local web-sites (hypertext books).

the easiest way is simply to hold the shift key down, when you click on a link !!
This automatically opens a new window, so your search results are still in the "old" window !
this seems to be a general thing, which works on links anywhere - Google, RootsChat (e.g. open the Search-window itself in a new window, also useful for checking "unread posts since your last visit" etc)

Is it possible to search RootsChat for all the threads started by a particular person?
Also, when I do a search, then look at a thread, if I use browser back to return to the search results, I get the "expired page" message and have to reload the search results. Is this as it should be, or am I doing something wrong (as often happens).

Hi there,
I am moving this topic to How to use RootsChat and merging it in with another that is on the same subject.

Having done that, the easiest way to see all the threads someone has contributed to, is to access their profile and view Show the recent posts of this person.
I cannot see a way to see all the threads a particular person started though. If there is a way, I would love to know. 
Kazza.

Thanks Kazza - I thought I had checked for the query - obviously not a very good searcher!
I am trying to get myself organised & wanted to check all the threads I started (obviously my queries). Guess I'll have to plough through them all.

Trish,
Sorry I did not have better news then.
If anyone else knows differently I would love to be proved wrong. 
Kazza.
