I have no clue what a "wrap session" is.
However, it's possible to narrow down the search results. Click "Search" near the top of the page.
If you have a particular thread in mind, try and remember the following:
2. A key word that is not very common IE: "Session", or "Wrap" or something else that you recall was said in the thread. The less common the word the better.
The name of a member that you recall havingposted in that thread. Providing they don't have their options turned to disallowing searches with their name, that should help narrow it even more. However, if you are using this option, do not add a "key word" into the "key word" area unless that word was a word that this member had used, otherwise you won't turn up any results at all.
Search by "Post Date" and not "relevance"
Pick the forum you want to search.
For example, let's say that you want to locate a freebie for something and you remember it was in a thread I started. To find the thread you would:
1. Enter "Free" in the key word area
Post date
The period of time varies, but let's say it was sometimes within the last 18 months. You would put "Older than 1 day" and "Newer than 18 months"
Enter my name
Pick "Poser Forum"
Then search. You will pull up all of the tposts that I created where I said the word "Free". It's not exactly exact science and you do have to look through the results, but it's far less than what you would normally have to look through. And it's far better than what we had in place with the old boards and way way better than what we had right after the php converstion where you couldn't find anything!

heart whatever they might have to
