Self0Search question

Posted on 11/09/2001 6:32:01 AM PST by cantfindagoodscreenname

Why is it that lately when I click on "self-search", I get a list of threads that I cannot find myself on? It looks like someone has pinged me, but I can't find my name there. Is it because someone has put a huge list of names into the "to" box and my name isn't showing? The only thing that makes me think that's not what's happening is that I'm being pinged by people I don't even know.

Press reload/refresh. If you are at work, others might be FReeping from the same server.

For example, I just got SLB's latest posts page. It sometimes happens with self search and the FR mailbox too!

If you're at home, then the feds are probably spying on you.

Yes, the 'to' box can hold many more names than will display. Your name is there, just not visible.

If you want to see posts that you wrote, type "from:cantfindagoodscreenname" in the search box and submit it.

Same thing happens for me. At least two FReepers appear to have a "mother-of-all-ping-lists" ping list. The new site format doesn't show you the whole list, that may be why you don't see your name on the thread. The old view shows what may well be a complete list of FReeper screen names.

I've been wondering how long till someone asks them to stop using those lists.

When I do a self search, I have to log in, every time, but I do get the proper list once I get in.
The continuous logging on is getting annoying. But.......stuff happens.

Self Search isn't on the main page anymore, but it is on the top and bottom of the threads.

That is because you don't have a good screen name.

The Self0Search option only works if you're Irish.

Thanks everyone! As usual, you got me laughing! I can't believe I didn't catch that "0" in between my words. I tend to be a perfectionist with my spelling and grammar, so it was a little embarrassing to have a typo in that subject line. But, I like to dish it out when I see typos, so I can certainly take it!

Duke1983, I'll do my best to explain what it means to "ping" someone. If you want someone to see a thread, you can reply to a message in the thread and enter his screen name. Then, when that person does a self0search [he he he], he will find himself directed to that thread.

Thanks for the answers and the laughs!

Probably. If you click on the link, then click on "old style," you can see if your name is in the list of people being flagged to that post.

Who needs it on the main page when you've got the MAGICAL POP-UP WINDOW?

I don't bother to respond unless I see my name.
