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?

I always search

I find it fascinating that others don’t. Some pour their hearts and souls in to supporting posters. I do a quick search - bullshit story in more cases that I can remember over the years!

Thirty second search as I couldn’t be bothered to read beyond first dozen threads that had been posted in but I know @pleasepleasepleasehelp enjoys long drawn orgasms; fancies Matt Hancock, Rishi Sunak, and Keir Starmer and that she and her DH enjoy cycling every day to local woodland.

Hell yeah, I just did some nefarious searching

My view is that if you’re going to post on a huge worldwide accessible chat forum - then you either own what you publish come what may or you frequently name change. The onus doesn’t rely on others to avoid you being caught out telling fibs or being embarrassed about something you revealed in a past thread.

Did you pay first...?😉

Is this happening again as I can't search by username?

It's still there for me. (Desktop, Safari)

I'm on the app

HebeMumsnet · 13/03/2023 12:37

@HereIfYouNeedMe Unfortunately the new advanced search doesn't work on the app. If you're on the main site though, you can access it there and that does allow you to search by poster. www.mumsnet.com/search/advanced

advanced search isnt working for me at all now is it my broswer (firefox

HebeMumsnet · 15/03/2023 09:13

Hi there @whynotwhatknot . Have you tried it using the link in my post above yours? If that's still not working could you tell us what sort of device you're on in Firefox? It might be worth trying another browser too - Chrome is usually good.
