[Solved] Search for a specific member's posts

[djpython]

I can search for members. I can search for posts. But can I search for a specific member's posts?

(I read the faq and survival guide and I searched this subforum with "member + post*".)

I need to locate a specific post but apparently I cant remember any of the text verbatim or something so I am looking for alternative ways to get back to it. I seem to remember that Villeroy had an entry in the thread. Now, can I look through his posts and replies so maybe I can find the one I need? (By the way I am desperate to find the hack for the keyboard shortcut (4 strokes?) to put a certain timestamp in the cell. I have been looking back all afternoon.)

Some peoples replies would probably make good reading anyway... like yours!

Use the advance search (link top right of all pages, just below the search box). Combine your keywords and the author.

Please add '[Solved]' at the beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

Thanks Hagar. That is useful.

Now, in trying this on my own member name, the only posts of mine that came up were those in which I had specifically typed my member name in the text of the post.
The posts I made without using my name in the text exist, but did not appear.

It is like I now have the ability to find posts in which a member is mentioned. What I am really looking for are those posts (and replies) made by that member -perhaps without those in which he is referred to.

For example: Can I read the helpful remarks you have made to any member, say in the last 24 hours?
