Yeah, I should be more careful whom I drink with... :)

i like whisky, thank you
Dumb question which I probably already asked before : if I am searching for a specific post by a specific member, I get a result being a thread... but with no link to at least the page containing that post
eg : do i really have to go through the 92 pages of the thread to find that post?
I usually try to go through google to find what I am looking for, but it aint always useful if for instance the page/post hasnt been indexed.
Any power user tip? :)
"enter your search criteria then at the bottom choose show results as posts rather than threads."
Where is that?
Many thanks, it's been bugging me since ages !
You are probably searching the entire site, for which this option is not shown. Use the search tool on the specific forum you are interested in (see below)

I never actually noticed this button.
Seems a bit archaic, but ok.
So if i am looking for something, i must :
1) do a global search, to find the thread
2) do a search in the thread to find the actual post
Is there really nothing simpler?
As pretty much anything collector related gets posted in Calvin's Corner, you really only need to open that at the top level and search there. It will search sub threads below the one you are viewing.
What I've found really works well is I use google but limit the search to this site only. Just include "site:thedarktower.org" after your search term. That will limit the search results to this site only. It has worked almost every time for me in terms of finding what I'm looking for.
If looking for a specific post by a specific member, simply open their user page (click their username in any post and select View Profile), then just click this button under their user card: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...cons/forum.png (Final all posts). Then just go through and find the post, it should be in chronological order.
Click Advanced Search - click the Search Single Content Type tab - look near the bottom of the page for Show Results as: - click Posts - look below that for Save Search Preferences - click Go
You can now enter your search terms. The page will provide results as posts.
Now whenever you want to search for posts just click Advanced Search then click the Search Single Content Type tab and enter your search string. The page will already be set to return results as posts.

Aaaah thanks! I knew that sometimes in the past I used to see the results like this.
I just keep not noticing the tab "search single content type" or keep thinking that I *am* already in that tab
Thanks a lot!
ah, interesting, so the top level search defaults to Multiple content type and the thread search defaults to single content type - hence the different views. I had never noticed that either. Thanks Brian!
SNL thread locked, presumably by accident.

Looks like it was already fixed.
Is there a way to move photos from my gallery into an album?
I'll look into it. It may not be simple to do.
