i dont know but when i first get to http://forums.devnetwork.net/ (i have it bookmarked) i should have that link there where you see my name and stuff. It would be an "easier" more convenient way though...

If a link isn't readily available, I simply bookmark it. Or even if it is, I bookmark it anyway so I always have a two-click access to that page (click the PHPDN folder then whatever page) from my Firefox bookmarks toolbar.

But I agree it would be cooler to have the other search method. I actually prefer that one because you see your post and once clicked it goes directly to your reply, instead of viewing all the topic names an having to scroll to see your reply.

Well the two methods I was talking about is the ego search ( search.php?search_id=egosearch ) which highlights every thread you posted in by topic title and the other search ( search.php?search_author=USERNAME ) method that shows every post you made and links to the exact position on the page where the post is.

Both essentially do the same thing, but the latter is my preference because it saves time when you want to view where you posted from your last reply.
