Heya all
Sorry if this has been asked before, I did try and search but only found out about The winners circle on FB.
Is there any way to search a Full name on this forum to see if your name is in the winners post? When I type my name it brings up loads posts with my first name in but isnt actually me, so I wondered if there was something you can put around the whole name like: "Joe Bloggs" to get only the full name to appear in threads if any?
Hope you understand what I mean :huh:

I think, although I could be wrong, that if you search your name with the
+ sign between you first & second names (for example searching joe+bloggs) it should only show post which contain both your first AND second name.Wine is made to be drunk, I am drunk, therefore am I wine?0 -

you need to search it like this "joe bloggs" with exclamation marks - also works if you do a general google search as well x£2021 in 2021... £253.86/£20210
