    Any reason why it doesn't seem to be possible to search PI?

    This problem has raised itself before a few times. Subscribers and moderators seem to be able to search there fine for some odd reason. No-one has figured it out yet as far as I know. Have you ever been banned from there before?

    actually I am still waiting for my cherry to be popped on the banning thing.

    Also I would agree with the not be able to search the PI thread. Threads are started there in relation to giving advise to the OP, if the search feature was enable old threads would be dug up and chances are that the OP would of stopped checking for updates so there is no need to bump it to give your advise

    If you do a search by user name on a user you will not find any posts that person has made on the PI forum or the LGBT forum. Fairly handy for most I'd say and well done to which ever admin or asok for setting it up in that way.

    That makes a lot of sense. :)

    O/T but when did I miss this change? Or is that a typo?

    I did a search for a username and her posts from PI came up. But maybe that's because I put it as keyword rather than searching for posts by her?

    Yes.

    Now If they would only make PI posts not count for post count I reckon I could shed about 5,000.

    Well it is the LGBT forum, whatever about the actually name. That said it was just tired ness that made me type LGBT instead of LGB.
