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 |

While we are having folks looking into problems, I have tried to change my profile at the personal page. I have typed in what I would like my profile to be, and submitted it, but when I go look in my wifes full length mirror in her sewing room I still see fat old me....nothing about the profile has changed... |

29 Mar 99 - 08:33 AM (#66659) Subject: RE: Finding yourself in the threads From: Wolfgang a related problem: when I'm away for a couple of days I just can't read all posts. But I wouldn't like to miss a post addressing me, e.g. with a question. So I could do a Forum search entering my name in the BODY section but I'll then get all those posts by myself (I always sign my posts), an awful lot. So what I'd like to be able to get is this: a search which lists all posts with my name in the body except if they are from me. How do I get this result? Wolfgang |

29 Mar 99 - 04:47 PM (#66756) Subject: RE: Finding yourself in the threads From: Bill D *grin*...Wolfgang...I guess the solution would be to be someone else in the header!If you are "Wolfging" in one and "Wolfgang" in the other, then searches would be easy..

01 Apr 99 - 04:12 AM (#67260) Subject: RE: Finding yourself in the threads From: Wolfgang Bill, I actually thought of that, but people still would address me mostly not with the name in the header but with the name I sign with. The radical solution is not to sign. I won't do that. Wiffgang |
