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.

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.

Are you saying you're trying to do this ?

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.
