At the beginning of the day, I wasn’t able to search for posts by my name. I waited and now I can search by my name and get the one post I entered today.

Is anyone else having this problem?

It’s working okay for me, but now is the first time I’ve tried it in about 12 hours or so. Dunno if there was a glitch between times.

We’ve seen nothing to indicate anything was not working in the system. Sorry you had a problem.
