(2) Works like a charm...

With (1) I got only one result (I clicked the link in your post, so it searched for your threads). So it does something. It's also rather slow, taking something like a minute before I even get the "search in progress" screen... Here's a screenie:

#1 usually gives me 1 or 2 results, and it seems like they're always different ones too (currently it only lists "new FORUMS SEARCH SYSTEM", same as Mercator).

#2 works like a charm.

2) works

1) after a long time, I get a message, seemingly based on a search

"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

On a somewhat related matter, why does the site log me out??

If I move around the site reading something here, posting, changing pages, changing fora, all is okay. But, if I take a break in place, to get a sandwich for instance, when I come back, I am logged out. Nothing changed except time between now and the last click.

Same as Locutus. Also no dotted envelope on number 2. Oh, and number 1, returning just one result, also took me pretty long to open.

2 works perfectly and quickly

1 is slow, and gives strange results

The "strange" results are there because the first link reflects Markos' results, not your own.
For your own threads, click the link at the top of the page.

Thanks! Next time I'll actually read the post!

I guess I should change my vote to: both work, but no. 1 is slow.

Guess its a good job I never need to use this feature.

1 'works' for me the same as it did for Mercatore Uno. 2 seems to work fine, although the sorting of previous posts seemed wrong.

Both worked a treat.

This is a new, brawny, robust My Threads!!! Now gives a first page of My Threads updated during the current session, then a 2nd page showing the results I'm used to seeing.

Plus, all listed threads now have a REPLY link so we can get right down to spamming business.

OUTSTANDING UPGRADE!!!!
