Locating old threads
« on: Monday 17 November 08 15:59 UTC (UK) »
Is there an easier way of locating threads you have started other than trawling through all your posts in your profile?  I am doing a bit of RC 'housework' and adding 'Completed' to resolved threads but I am having difficulty locating the old ones easily.

Hi Maggie  Smiley


I know the feeling with my number of posts  Roll Eyes

I go to Search Rootschat and put  a word that I know I've used in the Search box and my name in User and maybe select the appropriate board(s)
