The first part is something that John's toying with including in the final version. IMHO, he can bury it.

The remainder is a function of the current placeholder program, and is addressed by the self-search links at the start of this thread. I'd rather see that go live, but failing that, I'd like a return to the old self-search.

There is a workaround that seems to work; head to any other "Latest" page (either the latest posts or latest replies), pull down the "Articles+replies", type "to:Billie" (sans the quotes) in the search box, and click Search. That'll get you the "to" half of self-search, and ignore the "all" flags.

Flagging you to a work-around for the "all" feature. Just type "to:<your screen name here>" and you've got the "to" part of the old-style self-search without the annoying "ALL" problem.

In other words, just ignore the automatic "Self-Search" and search for "your own self" the way we search for anybody or anything else, huh? Big improvement. :^( I haven't checked to see if the "-or from: Billie" works. Guess I will.

I'm having a WHOLE LOTTA HANGING going on here - trying to type a response and my computer just hangs up - havn't noticed it anywhwere else online.
