can anyone tell me if its possible to search adverts profiles with a username cos i cant figure out how to..thanks

I dont think thats a feature now that people have names registered with Adverts.ie and need not register with Boards.ie any more.

Google is your friend though

You can just put the username into the search box and it should bring up all adverts from that username as well as any items.

Hope I have not misunderstood your question

Using a targeted google search works best.

e.g. if you try to find me by typing 'steve' into the adverts search, it fails.

If you type 'steve site:adverts.ie' into google, it finds my profile on the second hit.

Using the 'site:adverts.ie' term confines google to adverts.ie only
