This might sound dumb, but I've never known how to find a thread that i started without looking through all the pages...there must be an easier way
what if you don't know what the heading of your thread was? how do you search for it? Isn't there a list of all threads that someone created that they can look through?
Use the link Ripper gave you. At the very bottom of the grey box you will see a 'SEARCH' tab on the left hand side. Just to the right of that is a white bar where you can put your full screenname in. Even in parentheses it says (enter user's full nick). Type it in there and click the search button and there you go.
