Search by poster gone?

Just tried to find an old post of mine and spotted the search by poster option has gone.

Is this a mistake?

@WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles I search posters all the time but this genuinely was me! I was looking for a recipe I’d linked to once and then forgotten. It was a recipe for focaccia in the Lakeland catalogue.!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if it's deliberate.
There are some seriously angry posters on some threads, it could be related to posters tracking others to berate them iyswim

"An old search of mine"

Yeah right Grin who were you searching for ? Wink

That's like "asking for a friend"...

Urghhh hope we're not to be forced off the old-school mobile site

I have a vague memory of someone on a thread a day or so ago saying that they'd done a search and it had brought up unexpected results. Perhaps there's a glitch and MNHQ has removed that search option for a bit.

FlibbertyGiblets · 04/04/2020 15:50

A glitch, surely, not a deliberate change?

You can still search on the app, not specifically by poster but you can put their name in the search field.
It's pretty much meaningless as so many people name change frequently.

God, what was the point of this, MNHQ??

BAD MOVE

Not impressed

Especially as I was following some people whose opinion I value on CV & now can’t find them

VERY unimpressed.

myrtleWilson · 04/04/2020 15:48

I noticed too

SoupDragon · 04/04/2020 15:46

I've just noticed this too.

Bad move.
