The first mention of it I recall was when Joe Offer, after having been in Mudcat for a year, wrote about the vast number of messages he had posted in that year which he'd accessed by doing a by-name search of the threads. I've tried this before, with no luck--my threads refresh buttons end up on top of the Help the Mudcat button--I can enter my name or the name of a thread I want to find, but when I try to change the Age, I get Help the Mudcat. Any suggestions, Joe, Max, anyone? --seed
