Tips for Searching in Mafia Thread?
Anybody have any tips for finding the posts by a particular player in a mafia game? I have been sorting the thread by author then clicking through the pages til I find what I am looking for. there has to be an easier way.

Re: Tips for Searching in Mafia Thread?
My procedure for combing through a thread for posts from a specific player:
1. Go to first page of the game (when Day one starts)
2. Hit Ctl-F. Type in players name.
3. Hit enter. Visit each occurence of the player's name.
4. Go to next page. Hit Ctl-F, then enter (name is still in search box)
5. Repeat.

I do this, except since it's alphabetized, I just skip through the pages until I find the person's posts. It's usually not too bad.

Just do what Haggis did. Go to Advanced Search or click on 'search user's posts' on their wall and enter the game title for keywords. Also, if there's a particular post I want to save for later, I copy the url from the page icon by the author's name and save it to my notes.

You have the Chrome part correct, but the Mac.....it's unforgivable.
