Re: How to search IMs problem
I don't know how to go to a member's page if I don't already have a link for them in a forum or on postlist. I rarely use search here so I have forgotten the syntax for putting in the user name in the address bar. The only search I use here usually is from within a specific forum but general search I don't do because it does not default to advanced search and the basic search has never once found what I wanted. But there is a syntax, right, for finding a member by typing something in the address bar like just typing user=xxx or something similar?

fishing | What error do you get?
When you go to the main instant message page, and click the Conversations tab, do you see the person there? |

| I put that in on the main IM page. I typed it like you posted and added the member's handle. The error on Opera is more detailed but basically the same. I typed it just like you wrote...maybe it should be slightly different...or did I misunderstand what you meant me to type?
The conversations tab (which is where you are sent when you click on the IM link in the upper/lower left corner of each page here) only shows the last four conversations. This person I haven't spoken to in several months.

You could also enter the member name into the site search box- that should pull up a link to their page. I just tried it with a three letter member name, and it works.

| I put the member name in the search box last night and all I saw was posts where the member name was highlighted. I did the same thing just now though and I saw something about xxx is a member and that was clickable which took me to his member page. I guess that was there last night and I was sleepy and just didn't notice it.
The conversations tab only shows recent conversations. This was six months ago.
