    Just a quick question. I can't do a search for posts sorted by user. Its not that i'm looking for posts by other users but I keep track of the threads i'm posting in by just clicking on my username and bringing up a list of all the threads i've started, or posts i've made. Is there a way to turn this feature on for my account, even if its just so I can search my own previous posts?

    I remember having the facility when I first joined, but it got turned off soon thereafter. All I get now is a page telling me I don't have permission to use this facility.

    Also, as a side, how do I change my avatar picture to my own personal picture. I seem to be only able to use one of the pre-defined avatar pictures.

    It was too much of a load on the server and killing boards. It is being worked on at the moment and I think we'll see it return at some stage.:)

    Yeah, thats also a reason why I liked it, when buying items off adverts there's no way of actually checking the person you're buying from, whether people have complained about him before.

    Also thanks faith for the info on the avatars
