so when i go into a thread..(has happened a few times, but it just happened again when i went into the ran guitars thread) and click search this thread. i try to find if i had already posted what i was going to say and instead of searching that thread for my posts, it comes back with every thread i've posted in. i can't highlight that thread because you can only selected whole areas of the forum. am i retarded?

Yeah, I always get problems with that function too.
