Looks like "Find threads started by user" doesn't work, I will pass it on. There will be an update today or tomorrow & it will most likely be fixed.

It works, I just did my own username and got all the threads I started.

Hey Cars2007, I have not seen you around here before. Are you an old user with a new name??

I did a search for threads started by Brabus_x2 and it didn't work, so it's an issue at least for some usernames.

I do technology stuff for Internet Brands, so you won't have seen me around before.

What is with the percentage that is next to the topic the person posted in?

I've been away a long time. I'm bummed at the new Search by user results I'm seeing now. What had happened to the search by UserID that would provide one with a list of threads they participated and an icon one could click in a column near the right margin that would take a user to the -end- of the thread, or near the left margin a down arrow that would take a user to the last message posted after their last time in the thread? That worked well and was very usable.

please deduct $0.02 from my account...

The percentage is a relevancy score. It's looking like we will update the search engine this afternoon, so sit tight.
