searching for new messages

Threads I'm on is great, except I didn't get on the computer for 3 days so it's blank!

I have always gone into "last day" to look for threads that interest me but now with so many new categories I get down to about "G" (if I'm lucky) & my Explorer freezes because there's just too much on there. I never seem to get down to catch up with "other", or "chat".

I've tried the active conversations but there isn't enough info on there to decide whether I need to go into the thread or not.

I've started searching under each category but it takes forever & I'm getting bored with it (at least it's cured the daily addiction ) & it's in a very strange order.

Please can we have a search facility that lets you look for all new messages in several categories at once. Even if it was the categories from the topic board. Just so I can avoid the pregnancy, conception & other stuff I'm not interested in, without having to look under every individual heading.

We've also added a "Threads I started" link to the "Find discussions" section. This goes back 10 days. Regards, Tech

Hi there, we've done this... been meaning to for ages. On the search page you can choose the topics you want to search. should be fairly self-explanatory.
