Is there's anyway to search within a thread?

Plus ca change...

I really like the font size. I would find a smaller point size harder to read.

we need this

I really like the font size. I would find a smaller point size harder to read.

The font is presently 20px, I'm only looking at 18px and line-height changes. The difference will be quite pleasant as I've already done some testing of this.

Is there's anyway to search within a thread?

type:comment type:conversation id:252832 authorId:48677

That finds all comments within the conversation 252832 made by author 48677.

Unfortunately not all of those flags are working for the full text search, so whilst you can do some things "find all posts by this used in that conversation", you can't do other things "find all posts that contain 'foo' and 'bar' within that conversation".

1. Do the"mark all read" trick and hope your browser is not one of the devil's.

2. Home page, right nav menu, Conversations. (@Velocio I think this is a ui paper cut: only available on home page, too many clicks and too obscure.)

Not sure if this has been asked, but is there a way to sort a search by last date of post posted? searching keywords and i'm getting threads that's 3 years old on the top of the search results.
Sorry if this has been asked already.

Thanks Mashton. I think. #luddite

Not possible, but clearly needs to be added.

I can log in with persona with my current email address and it's remembered my name, but everything else has gone (PMs, subbed threads, avatar). I think it's probably to do with the fact that I made the account with a previous email address, but when Persona isn't recognising the old one as having an account. How can I get all my stuff back?

You PM me with your old username, and your old email, and then I swap the emails so that you sign out, sign in, and you're magically the old account.

Done and done, cheers.

Is there any plan in future to let users rearrange the order manually (Like you can with browser or taskbar tabs, for example)? Maybe create a list of 'favourites' so if you're in a microcosm with shitloads of forums you don't have to hunt through multiple pages for the one(s) you want.

Following...filter by forum type...Bookmark. Done

I agree, it's perfect once I get used to it on the desktop.

However mobile version felt quite large equal almost endless scrolling.

Much better than endless pinch zoom and double tapping.

Mobile screens ARE small. Nothing to be done about that.

A fair point, though certain sites and apps have smaller font which made microcosm pop out easily.

Can I avoid signing in with my Google account? Everytime I log in it also logs me into Google which I disagree with utterly. I now have to log in to lfgss and then log out of Google immediately. Minor I know but a little irritating.

Persona apparently accepts any email address address you might have... that's a persona issue .

Browser still keeps refreshing... Have to manually click the X

I'm on chrome?

@Velocio

Trending and following are good but it is really easy for new threads to pass by. Can we get today's posts reinstated?

At some point will users be able to define their own home page so we get to chose which lists are available?

Also all the scrolling rather than being directed to where I left a conversation is beginning to irk.

Am worried that we may lose a number of people while these glitches I are ironed out, @mdcc_tester has already expressed his displeasure.

Damn Persona.
