Could someone possibly help me or tell me if it is even possible to find a response to a comment of mine on a specific subject in the body of a thread?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’m not having any luck finding the response in question. Do you remember which jelly posted the answer? If so, you can put ”@username” into the search bar along with any keywords in the response you can remember. For example, ”@lillycoyote Victrola” gets you this result.
