I don’t know. I put “Cecil Adams” in the Search by User Name fileld, left it on “Match exact name”, and changed “Search for Posts From…” to “any date”. I got 46 hits. Did you spell his username right?

Well, I don’t know what to say. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well?

I know the Big Guy has about 100 or so posts, but when I did a search it came up with 0 matches.

I’m not ruling out the possiblity that I have no idea what I’m doing (although I never seem to have trouble with other posters.)

Ahhh. Apparently, I AM an idiot.

::hangs head in shame::

I’ll just go over here and do some remedial thinking now…

I submit to you that your error is most likely this. You are searching for all posts for Cecil from yesterday and newer. Change that to and older and they should all come up…
