content: I've been lurking on this forum on/off over the past couple years & have frequently seen a signature on someone's posts (don't recall who) w/ a link to a YT channel. The description next to the link was something like:"Taking stuff apart,veryapart." W/ the link just after that, I think.I lost the link to it a while ago & possibly any pages I saved that had the link on it. Does anyone know who the user is and/or what the YouTube channel was?

content: Searching for the link is easy. Just use a web search engine. See the attachment.But I do not see, what is the said user requesting from you and why is it strange.

content: Wow, I really butchered my post! I was in a rush to get the question on here in case I couldn't find any saved page w/ the link in it.As for the title, I meant thatIhave a strange request, & that is for someone to help me find the link to the YT channel w/ a description similar to that in my post.......Which I found btw, it's:https://www.youtube.com/user/mikeselectricstuffThe actual text being this:Youtube channel:Taking wierd stuff apart. Very apart.If I knew how to link the words 'Youtube channel' like how it is it mike's signature, I would. Not used to this forum's interface, yet.I've used other forums w/ similar functionality to this one but the interfaces on those were a lot easier to understand right away.Also, I've never had much luck using advanced search functions, assuming any papers or computer files w/ that information didn't promptly disappear first, mainly due to HDD failures & people touching stuff that wasn't theirs.Any-who, this post isveryexperimental for me, so, apologies for any poor formatting.

content: notgoodatnames... Hi there mate!. Re: Being a new Poster here... yes, the Title normally says a lot,although condensed. (Except when 'comedic-ally' abstract on purpose!). The title could have been......"Help please, Re: Searching for a Forum Member via their signature" However, I don't think that beingtold that "opaque titles are a PITA", (Pain In The Ass), eitherhelpsyou, or make youfeelgood !!P.S.You call yourself "Not Good At Names" which reminded me of myself years ago !! I was shocking atremembering Surnames. Often, after talking to new contractors etc in my office, I would use my 'trick' of sayingto them, with pen & paper in hand... "So how do you spell your Surname??!!"..........To which one replied... "S-M-I-T-H"Oh well, it might have been 'Smythe' or something !!!Look on the bright side of life. (I'mdifferent. ask anyone! I'm sure they will tell you)
