I can't find me on this list! Can someone please help I'm listed as Mariyam with a few books.
Mariyam, Your last post to this thread was #192, dated 2/21/11 at 8:55 a.m. on page 4. You can find your postings (and any postings mentioning you) by typing in your name in the upper right hand search field under the list starting with "group homes" "bookshelf" and ending with "polls". It will list all postings in the whole group.
Or, on one of your posts in the group, if you click on your name, all of your posts in the group will come up.
Thanks Shay! I thought something like that happened, but I tried it after I had already done a search and it just hyperlinked me to the Mariyam's profile. I'll have to remember to be IN the thread. Thanks again!
