Searching for member

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 often have the same problem with links
so its not just you.try holding down the alt key while
clicking on the link,its been known to work for me or failing
that how about highlighting the link then copy and paste
into your address bar.hope this helps.
                                                            regards,anne

Hi Devongirl,

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