what does it mean?
I went into ,'view your threads and posts to find a thread I had started. Up came the following.' please add more constraints to your search. Searches that return all or most of the database are a bad idea'. I have no idea what this means or what I am being asked to do or change. Any advice please?

Has your 'View Your Threads And Posts' become combined with your 'Advanced Search'? Mine has.
I think it has something to do with how the page fits the screen, I started a thread about it some time ago where I had some help from Tony, but it now seems to have disappeared.
