I've noticed that many big sellers with Featured Ads appear to have no feedback when "search for feedback" is clicked. Often it's because the username and e-mail address aren't posted in the subject lines of feedback threads. However, with the new "search this forum" function one can easily find multiple threads for the seller in question by searching the Buyer/Seller Feedback Forum instead. I am aware that in the past, The Adminstrators would have to correct the problems with the feedback links one at time after being made aware of them. This seems a lot of work and somewhat hit or miss. Is it possible to simply allow a search in the Buyer/Seller feedback forums when one clicks the "Search For Feedback" button in ads?
Neither oldbug.com nor Drew Colome show any feedback when "Search For Feedback" is clicked, yet multiple results pop up for a similar search with merely the username in Buyer/Seller Feedback. Many visitors might not know to do this.
If the two functions could be merged it might result in more accurate feedback searches. Just my $.02
Thanks for the great website!

When you click search for feedback, it performs a search. If you are asking if it would go to the search screen instead for the user to fill out, that would be confusing for most users.

Those threads needs to have the user's email added to the feedback postings. If you know of any threads that do not come up, hit report on them and an admin will fix them.

It looks like Drew Colome recently changed his email, which affected his search. I fixed it.

Thanks, Everett! In the future I'll be sure to hit Report to keep you posted.
