You can’t post a photo directly to the board, but you can post a link to a photo.

By the by, your question should have gone to the About This Message Board subforum, but no biggie. Welcome to the Board.

**Moderator Action**

Since this is about posting an image here on the SDMB specifically, I will move this to ATMB.

Moving thread from GQ to ATMB.

Wondered if i could find out how many names I’ve used for the president here, so I entered “Guest-starring: Id!; President” in the search field, with no luck, and then tried “SDMB - Guest-starring: Id! - President” in google, with no luck either.  
Lost cause?

You can use SDMB’s advanced search function to search by user name. [Is this what you’re looking for?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=15638047)

Fuck - I meant my post to be a separate thread.:smack:

Thanks for the previous two responses, but the vast majority of hits in the advanced search function showed posts that didn’t have president in them; same with the google attempt.

After way too long a digging, all I could scrape up was:

President Whitish-Biege Pustule  
President Vilest of Spermbirds  
President Whose Grandfather Was A Whoremonger in PNW/Yukon In Late 1800s  
President Bowl of Spooge  
President Embarrassingly Inverted Cock

Looks like my link didn’t work, but when I type in “president” for the keyword and filter to username “Guest-starring: Id!” I get 136 results. Make sure you show results as posts, not threads.

> Lost cause?

When searching the SDMB with Google, start with “site:straightdope.com” (minus the quotations, natch) and then try your search terms. If you want an exact phrase, put it in quotes.

For example [site:straightdope.com “Guest-starring: Id!” president](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&ei=7ThbXOjoGrqQ0PEPjf6bmA4&q=site%3Astraightdope.com+%22Guest-starring%3A+Id%21%22+president&oq=site%3Astraightdope.com+%22Guest-starring%3A+Id%21%22+president&gs_l=psy-ab.3...0.0..2059...0.0..0.0.0.......0......gws-wiz.Axl9iV3Md6s).

Go back to the OP, have several stiff drinks, and then re-read **Gatopescado** again.

It worked for me. 😉

It works even better if you skip steps 1 and 3.
