I Did a keyword search on my name and found nothing newer than posts in the a thread from 2003!
One of many…

I did a search on Lobsang and came up with this:

Don’t know if there was glitch when you did it.
Oops!
I missed the part where you searched a thread.
Nevermind.

That’s just it - I _didn’t_ search for the a thread! I just did a standard vanity search.

That’s weird. I just put **Lobsang** in the keyword search and got all of the threads you posted in, including this one.
Want me to post the link?
It seems to be working just fine.

I just did a vanity search on your name and got 11+ pages of results, including “What’s the deal with lobster?”, whose title amused me.
And this one.

Oh wait, was that the plan. . . get us all searching for your old posts? :dubious:

I can see how you might think that. It really wasn’t.
On a seperate note, I just found out you can add profile pictures (but they don’t show on the forums obviously)
edit: view my public profile to see.
