Member lookup is now available from your DU Mail inbox

[EarlG]

We have added a member lookup function to your DU Mail inboxes. This will allow you to search for and find members. You can then either go to their profile, or send them a DU Mail message directly.

To use the function go to your DU mail inbox, enter a username in the "Send DU Mail to:" box, and click the "Find member" button. The software will return an exact match if there is one, with an option to view partial matches. This means that if you are unsure of the exact spelling of someone's username, you can just enter the first few letters of the username and then look down the partial matches list.

We plan to add more member lookup functionality over the coming weeks. Thanks again for your patience as we continue to work on our new software.

16. I went to my In-box, Searched name, got no link to the Profile. How do I find others' posts?

17. Advanced search works well...

but it can be disabled when traffic is high.

18. Thanks for replying, but it doesn't work well:

Sorry, this function is disabled due to the site currently experiencing high traffic. Please try again later.

19. Darn!

I hate it when it's disabled!

The next best thing is the Google search - which usually isn't all that helpful, really.
