Check the "Remember Me" box if you want. But seriously, if you're using a public computer, just make sure you log out when you're done. Common sense, right?

Flying Kamui Kobayashi 😬

Like what?

Nah.

Technically, you can find what you're looking for—but there's a catch. It only works if you've got fewer than 300 posts in that specific sub-Reddit.

Search tool -> search by username: Ashley Price82 (top right) -> Show Results as: Posts (bottom left) -> Search in Subreddit: <pick your subreddit> (bottom right)

Once those search results pop up, look at the top right corner where it says "Showing results 1 to 20 of 239". Here's the kicker, though: if you happen to have 300 or more posts in that subreddit, the system will always just say "Showing results 1 to 20 of 300." Why? Because Reddit never actually displays more than 300 results for a single search, no matter how much content is actually out there. Kind of a useless limitation, isn't it?

P.S. If you aren't trying to dig through every single sub-section, just uncheck "Also search in child forums."

HTML in signatures isn't allowed for regular forum members anymore.

Shrank the signature. Happy now?

Some guy probably registered with that handle, but he never actually bothered to activate the account.

Should I check the "Remember me" box?

Almost there! You just missed the slash in that last bracket—it’s supposed to close out like this: [/img] 🙂

Almost there! You’re just missing the closing bracket—it needs to end like this: [/img] 🙂

Well... I haven't really looked at this in a year—I honestly thought something had already happened back in 2011. Clearly, I was wrong.

Man, I feel like I've already answered half these questions in other threads.

As far as I know, there isn't any official themed gear or anything like that. We do get together, though—I think we meet up about twice a year in Washington, D.C.—and they always drop a global announcement well in advance so everyone can plan ahead. The last one was this.

Maybe try hitting Ctrl + F5, clearing out your cache, or whatever else you can think of. Honestly, I’m betting the issue is on your end—likely just some glitch with your specific browser (I'd assume everything works fine if you just switched to a different one).

Actually, Google is just the English term here. 😬

So, for instance—right under the Keyword field—it’s set to "search Entire Posts" by default, meaning it digs through the actual content. If you’re just looking for specific thread titles, you’ll want to switch that over to "search title only."
Up in the top right, there's the "search by user Name" option if you're hunting for something a specific Forum User posted. You can toggle that to decide whether you want to find individual posts or just the threads that particular person started.
Down at the bottom, you've got "show Results as: Thread / Posts." This is where you choose how you want the hits delivered—either as a direct link to the thread containing the post (handy if you're tracking down one specific comment, or if you just need the topic name) or as the actual post itself where your query showed up. It's basically an either/or situation.
On the right side, "search in forum(s)" is pretty self-explanatory—it's where you pick the scope. If you need to hit multiple sub-forums at once, just use Ctrl+click.
The other settings don't get used much, really... mostly just if you happen to remember roughly when a post was written or something along those lines.

P.S. Honestly, I have no clue how anyone struggles with basic English these days. 🤷

You can do just about anything else—just don't ask me to write this in American.

Look, why don't you just run the search based strictly on the title? You know, like "apple," "apples," or "apple's"—just throw a bunch of different variations in there. The forum's search engine usually picks up every single keyword anyway, so it shouldn't be much of a headache.

It really depends on what I’m actually hunting for. It’s a lot easier if you already have a hunch about which subforum the posts are buried in—specifically which thread they're tucked away in. Knowing who wrote it, whether the term is sitting in the subject line or just buried in the body text, or even just when it was posted... honestly, not every search is cut from the same cloth.

Or maybe—just a thought—you’re simply not using it correctly?

You can either tweak your search engine settings to be a bit more surgical, or just use Google like this:

The syntax:

For instance, if you actually want to find something useful, a "smart" search means using the full phrase—like this:

The syntax:

If you include the specific subforum name or a particular thread title in your query, you’ll usually end up with results narrowed down to that exact section or topic.
