Hi,

Is it possible to do a search for "stuff I've replied to"? My Threads is cool, but sometimes I want to check back on threads I've replied to, that I didn't start...any ideas?

Cheers

I asked for this ages and was told 'no way'. Too database intensive. I believe it may in the new search routines for the new forum though (whenever that may appear!).

I think it would be really useful. Quite often I reply with a nice code snippet to help someone out but then can't find it a month or two later. Using the current search is worse than useless because thread title is usually something like 'HELP!!!!!'

Boo!

There's a couple of boards which email you when someone replies to a thread to which you've replied. That's a less DB intensive way of going about it...

If you were MEANT to understand it, we wouldn't have called it 'code'

Um ... tried google? That's usually fine if the post is over a few weeks old.
