Is there a way to search for a specific thread or is it a page-by-page search process?

In the blue bar right above the first post in every thread - "search this thread"

When you go to search in the specific forum, click on "search threads", then type in your search parameters. This will usually return fewer results than searching posts making it easier to sift through them.

Skip the site search function and use Google- type what you're looking for followed by "site:ford-trucks.com/forums/" For example, if you wanted info on lift kits you'd type "lift kit site:ford-trucks.com/forums/" The only bad part about using Google is that, because of the way the site it setup, it searches all the forums for the keywords you specify.

Is there a way to keep track of my threads? Looks like they get lost a couple pages back after a while.
Thanks

Click on "user cp" in the blue bar - they should be listed there if you are subscribed to them under edit options/messaging and notification/default subscription mode.

Thanks,
I also found if I go to a posting with my name in it and click on the box next to my name, it gives me the option of just my postings.
Thanks again
