How does one search a forum to find questions that have already been answered, other than reading the content of each and every post?

Hi there!

You can use the search tool to find old threads/posts. You can navigate to that page by clicking the magnifier/search icon in the header. Once you're on the page, you can filter to threads in a particular forum section by choosing the "Topics" filter and then selecting the forum you want to search in the dropdown that appears (see image below for reference). If you only want to see questions that have answers, you can accomplish that by clicking the "Replies" field underneath the "Filter by number of...." label on the search page, and entering a value of 1.

You may also find the activity streams to be a good way to search for stuff. You can find them in the "Activity" menu in the header. Once you pick one (ex: unread content), you can customize it by adjusting the selections in the filter dropdowns towards the top.

PS - Your question would have made a great new thread in this section! :smile:
