I've been tinkering with a new way to do self-search. It will display the comments as if they were in a thread, but only displays those comments addressed to you or posted by you. Have a look at it here: Last 100 posts involving you -- in reverse chronological order, like latest posts New posts to you (since last time you checked) -- in forward chronological order, like a normal thread I think this should be listed in forward chrono order, but that might make browsing your self-search awkward.

Making changes to the Self-Search function, and in particular, how the database is organized in relation to Self-Search. Self-Searches should now be lightning quick and should span many months. The current index holds about 6 months of data (all I have available.)

There is some odd problem with Netscape and italics getting stuck on. It's something to do with the style sheets, I believe. So I am killing the default style sheet. Original Thread See the original thread if you would like to install your own custom style sheet.
