[QUOTE="AllRoundGoodEgg, post: 4580770, member: 80909"] Okay, so I'm new. You can tell because the interface has defeated me. I want to search the forums but can't find a 'search' link anywhere. I read the FAQ where it says the following, but really, I can't see a link on any of the pages. Is it supposed to be on the same toolbar at the top with 'my account', 'blogs', 'FAQ' etc? Thanks for any help! Searching Forums and Threads[B]How do I search for something?[/B] To quickly find a thread or post of interest anywhere on the bulletin board, click on the 'Search' link in the navigation bar at the top of most forum pages. Then, type in the keyword or phrase you wish to search for, and select either 'Show Threads' or 'Show Posts' to view the results. By selecting posts, you will be shown only the actual post in which the search word appears. For more control over the search, select 'Advanced Search' from the drop-down box. The advanced search page allows you to restrict your search to individual forums, find posts or threads by user, or return results based on tags [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_usage#faq_vb3_tags"][COLOR=#ffff99](?)[/COLOR][/URL]. There are also options to find posts from a certain date, or threads with a certain number of replies.
