    the forum have a search function... very good.. it saves a lot of time and thanks for that.

    but how do i search my inbox (PMS) for something or some specific users reply to me..


    (note: i am not here talking to search or see other ppls pm or inbox. I am asking how to search my own inbox)


    Although i have only 128 messeges.. but still its hard to find something that i need again from my pm..

    It can't be done on the forum, but that would be a wonderful feature. Nice idea! :D

    i think its been suggested before.

    if you do this, you can search the text for your message.

    i download and save all my messages, incoming and outgoing.

    Hit ctrl+f bring up a search in your browser. Type what you want to find in it tell it search. If it does not find it on that page go to the next one and hit search again. Do this until you find who or what you are looking for.

    Yes, it has. Several times probably, but it still would be a great feature. :)

    Good call. That will search titles and member names, but it won't search within the message. ;)
