    In megathreads you used to be able to click advanced search and find your own posts in that thread quite easily. Since the search changed though the advanced search button just brings you to the main search page and takes you out of the thread.

    Am I missing something obvious (quite likely) or is there a way to search for your own posts in a thread easily?

    The "find more posts by..." function when clicking on a/your user name now divides posts into forums and often filters into particular threads in those forums...that's probably the easiest way of finding them now...

    Or you can click on the number of replies in the forum that the thread is located, find your name in the new window that opens and click on the number beside it. This brings up all the posts you have made in that thread.

    I wrote a Greasemonkey script for this exact problem. It lets you use the new advanced search from "Search this thread". See the post here. There's instructions for installing it in post 1 of that thread

    Ha, never knew people could make their own scripts for people to use on here, that's so cool.

    Cheers for that man. Lot's of useful stuff in that thread by you. Keep up the good work :)
