The easiest way to find them is to have them either call you, or email you to tell you the news.

In order to use the DU private mail, you have to have 50 posts first, so that is probably not going to work. Some people don't post much, and take awhile to get to 50 posts.

I hope they join and have a great time.

Welcome to DU!

There is a box next to The Find Member.

Type in the first few letters of their usernames, click 'Find Member' Button.

Click on the partial matches link.

Go!

perhaps they will tell you when they join and under what name you can find their posts???

the information you have provided. I have really been enjoying coming here because I am so tired of the vitriol and mean-spirited comments that most of us on the left are subjected to in other Forums. Those on the right are no longer willing to discuss anything in a civil manner.

I'm sure that my friends will use the same names they have been using, so I won't have any trouble locating them after they have posted a few posts. I just thought maybe there was a member's list so that I could check to see when they join, but the search feature provided in my inbox that was mentioned will be good enough.

Again, Thanks

You can get to it from the above link or from the "Welcome to DU" section in the top-right of the Latest page.

Hope that helps.
