If you delete the System32 folder from your computer it loads webpages faster.

I was just about to follow this instruction, and then I realised I'm nearing the end of wine bottle and following instruction at this level of a bottle is generally ill advised. But I'll definitely do it this far down the second bottle and laugh at my blank blinking screen....

If you click the little paperclip/attachment icon to the right of the thread title, it will display a list of all attachments in the thread!

Oh, I am all over this one. Man, what you do is, you open the thread. Then in the top right hand corner there is an option that says 'search this thread', click on that mother fucker. Then a little search box thing will drop down and under it in blue text there will be a dealy that says 'Advanced Search'. Click on that mother fucker too. A screen will pop up with search boxes with options to 'search by keyword' or 'search by user name'. Type your user name into the second bad boy there and hit enter on that bitch. All the posts you made in the thread will materialise. The shit's like magic yo.

I can't seem to get this to work for me any more can someone help me out?

When I click on advanced search I get this page which goes off thread.

Hey Chuck, yeah when they upgraded to the 'new search function' *spits on ground*, the 'advanced search within thread', with it's 'search by username' function was a sad and innocent victim.
Although 'Danny' assures us that they will at some point try to rectify the issue.

Since then the best option has been what Degag suggests earlier in the thread, below.

Well, if you click on the number of posts in the thread, it brings up a list of members and their posts in that particular thread. If that makes sense

While in the list of members you can use the keyboad shortcut 'ctrl + f' to open a little search box you can type your username into to take you to your name in the list (for those threads where loads of people have posted in them and it's hard to find yourself).

Recently however, a new option has presented it's self. A brave and selfless soul known only by the mysterious and fictitiously prophetic moniker '28064212' has used some fashion of that computery black magic that some people seem so adept in to bring the 'advanced search in thread' function back to us all, like River Pheonix rising from the flames or some shit.

See post 2 in this thread. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056553774 (Also see post 1 for how to make post 2 do stuff).
He also conjured up some other weird and fun and useful hacky computery stuff in that thread like adding 'Facebook/Google+' share buttons to boards and cutting down on whitespace and all other manner of goodies if you want to avail of them. All for free, out of the goodness of his heart, probably.

Many years ago I got lost in the hills of Wyoming and this Navajo tribe took me and let me stay with them. Well, after a short while learning their ways and eating nothing but Buffalo and wild berries, I fell in love with this gorgeous wild nineteen year old. Raven hair and piercing blue eyes with a soul to match. Making love to her was the first time I felt free. I felt at one with the world finally, like I was truly home at last.

Anyway, her name was downward facing arrow.
