Post of the Month - March

Fran

Yes there are a lot of posts aren't there! :eek:No-one can get through all of them, especially as people are posting all the time. I tend to go to the boards that interest me most and sometimes peek at others.

And my eyes too!

There's a number in my address bar that suggests I'm making post number 426,797...

If that's right - how the heck can *anybody* find anything in here with any great ease?

Have you tried using the search facility at the top of the page yet? I know some people aren't keen on it but I've found it useful for narrowing down searches. Give us a shout if you need a hand with it. Also as Fran said, you soon get to know the boards that interest you most. Just don't ask us to recommend any boards because you'll end up with a ton of replies all saying something different :eek:

Yep!

It's *why* I've been asking so many questions instead of [not] finding things myself.

Indeed. But just finding a _thread_, much less an individual post, can be less than simple since there is some topical divergence from the title of a board...

..looking for the March shopping challenge I would NEVER have looked in "Work Home & Play" because I consider shopping to be NONE of those things. Hm.

Ho hum. ;-)

I found it very easily in a couple of clicks. I even used your search string "March shopping challenge" instead of "March Grocery Challenge." Follow the big red arrow below, click on 'Search' and after you've entered your search string just click on 'GO'

Click on this link and you'll see the result I got for your 'March shopping challenge.'

btw - you can always drag the whole forum address, an individual board, thread or post address from the IE address bar into your IE Favorites or Links Bar.

Well I'm blowed if I know how you got a result on that string and I didn't! Ho hum.

Just tried it again (and again); works every time.

You're not inadvertently clicking on advanced search are you?

Perhaps somebody else could try?

Nope. Anyway - I got there in the end. Musta just been a glitch on the day. Thanks for checking.
