How to find an old post of yours in a large thread


Princess Periwinkle

Ever seen a large thread marked with a star that says you've posted in it before and wanted to look it up? There's not really a good way to search by author within a thread. It's easy to do in a more general range with the advanced search, but unfortunately this isn't much help here.

 

Scene: I want to post in the "Favorite Songs from the Show" thread, but it says I already have. Well, it must have been months ago so I don't really remember it and I feel like updating my views. Unfortunately, there are 51 pages and I have no idea where I am amidst them.

Solution: copy/paste the link for the thread. Then, go to google and type the following:

site:mlpforums.com/topic/39760-favorite-songs-from-the-show/ Moon Moon

Pretty self explanatory, but obviously you would put the link to whatever thread you wanted and then your own username. The google search should turn up something like this:

Clicking on the link will lead you to the correct page. You will then either have to scroll through the page or run a search:

Boom. You've found it.

If only they had the much simpler option of actually doing it through the forums rather than google!
