Now Viewing: how to search user only knowing their nickname?
Keep it civil, do not flame or bait other users. If you notice anything illegal or inappropriate being discussed, contact an administrator or moderator.
In theory you could search the tag user:*whatyouremember* but I believe that only works if the user has uploaded something, pigeon's solution is cool but another thing you could do is to simply check your browser's history to find where you've seen that nickname, if you're in chrome your history keep saved in your google account forever. I still have my history from years ago.
