I’m trying to make a post, however for that post I need to link to another specific post. That post was Mockingbird talking about breaking up with his boyfriend because he was intolerant. If you could find it, I would be very grateful. 🙂 ---

Have you tried using the search function here? It’s located at the top right of the page, with all those small blue buttons. Or, you can also use the site [http://boardreader.com](http://boardreader.com) and use “sdmb” as one of your search terms. This would be faster and better for the board, but it likely wouldn’t work if this is a recent thread you’re looking for. ---

I’ve searched already. I can’t seem to find it tho’. If any one with godly search abilities could help me, PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! My head might explode if you don’t. ---

If it was a recent thread, you could click the “search” button at the bottom of **Mockingbird** ’s individual posts. This will bring you all of that user’s posts, including the one you’re looking for, starting with the most recent. ---
