Have you used the search function, yet? It's pretty simple. Just click on the Search link up above. Look way up at the top, where the list of links includes "Home" "Help" and then "Search".
That takes you to the Search Page. You can type in a single word or phrase. For example, if you want to know what has been posted on this forum about "Black Powder" Type those two words into the box.
Then click on the scroll box next to it, and select Match Whole Phrase.
Scroll to the bottom of the page, unless you want to limit your search to just one or a few of the boards.
Select whether you want to search only subject lines or whole messages, select how far back you want to search (the default is 7 days, but you can go further back than that)
Decide between searching for posts or threads, and then click on Search.
And there you have your posts with the key words highlighted.
To view the entire thread, click on the title of the thread at the top of the post. It will be in Blue. That will take you to the thread and you can read everything posted in that thread about the topic.
