Search Thread only

Any way to seach a thread for your own posts? I have thousands of posts
and can't find how to see only mine in a certain thread.

vB not good at that. :nah The Search This Thread command and placing your own username in the box is useless. Perhaps tweaking Advanced Google Search with site and thread name or number? Although I just tried it and all it could pull up is all my posts over the entire site in no particular order. There's gotta be a way.

You could get the entire thread into the browser window by using Thread Tools->Show Printable Version. Then use your browser search (ctl-F in Win/FF--I don't know the Safari equivalent) and search for you username or sig. The rest of the posts will still be there, of course.

Thanks Rich but there seems to be a limit of 40 posts per page with that method also.
