Linda, thanks for your info. Im no computer boff and definately not technically inclined. That's really useful which will come in hand and save me time in trawling through threads. Once again thanks, much appreciated. Regards Liesele

I assume you mean the unwanted certs thread. There is a quick way to look for a family name. Open the thread up, then press Control and F, a search box should open up on the bottom of your page, type in the family name you are looking for and press Find Next. If that name is on the page, it will be highlighted. If it is not, the name box turns red. you then have to go on to page 2 of the thread, the search box stays on the bottom of the page again, so click Find Next. You have to do it one page at a time, but at least you don't need to read the pages. You can use this method to find a word on any page of text you have on your computer, Linda

Does anyone know if there is a facility here to search within a GR thread instead of trawling through pages and pages, eg. if im searching through unwanted certs I can just type the family name that im looking for. Thannks Liesele.
