Is there a way to search for a specific thread, rather than scrolling thru all the threads?
Here I am again seeking help for a wrap session, I found the parameters dials but when attempting to move the cloth 'around' the figure none of these dials perform the task. With out having to twist, move or translate. Any suggestions

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!

Thank you I did find the search.
The wrap is you know like you wrap a bath towel around yourself when you get out of the shower, well most people do. The tutorial I speak of is located:
http://www.e-frontier.com/article/articleview/1420/1/321/
but when they speak about moving the item around the figure with the setting of the chrographed group. If you don't mind taking a look, maybe then you could comment about how to process the moving of the item around the figure.

The only way I can get the square to move is to switch to the "Direct Manipulation Tool." It's the tripod with a circle in the middle. Switch to that and click on the square and then use the blue circle to move the square so it's sideways to the figure. Go to another frame in the animation, use the blue circle to move the square again so it's behind her, then again so it's on the other side of her and then back to the front again. I found the parameter dials themselves didn't move the square around the body.
