In summary, the speakers discuss the need for a feature to sort user posts by section and a filter to search within specific forums. They also mention the existence of an advanced search feature and suggest the creation of a user's guide for forum features. The conversation ends with a humorous exchange about overlooking simple things and not knowing about certain software features.

I think it would be VERY handy if user posts could be sorted by section. That way when I look for an old post of mine, I don't have to sort through 1000 posts in GD. It would be nice to have some sort of filter in place.

Advanced Search does have a search by section. Look for Search in Forum(s) on the right, and use Ctrl click to highlight the sections that you want searched.

If you go to advanced search then you can search by specific forum.

No, you just never found the feature.

It would be nice if we had a "user's guide" of sorts telling people how to use forum features.

Even with a user's guide, figuring out the nice features in software can be tough.

I remember that my wife's brother was shocked that I didn't know about a certain Word feature that I needed.

Don't you love it when you miss something simple.
