Cooldown channel

What amendment do you think should be made to this content, and why?

The #cooldown channel has a slight issue.

To find your open channel look through your recent DMs with @Python or use the Discord Search feature in the top right of your screen to search from:YourUsername in order to find your most recent messages.

The trouble is that Discord is localized. Meaning that "from" as a special meaning only if Discord is configured in English. In French (my mother and computer tongue), you must type de:YourUsername. When I entered "From:Arthur" it didn't work. Admittedly, it took less than 30 seconds to understand the issue and correct it. But I suspect some people less used to Discord may be confused and I suggest updating the message with something such as

search from:YourUsername in order to find your most recent message. If it does not work, you may have to replace from by the localized equivalent depending on the language in which discord is configured.

Regards, Arthur

I made this change a few days ago but forgot to update this issue!

Thank you for raising this, it's a good point that I completely forgot when I wrote that message up. I've changed it to the following:

To find your open channel look through your recent DMs with @Python or use the Discord Search feature in the top right of your screen to search from:YourUsername in order to find your most recent messages. You may need to translate from to your selected Discord language to be able to search.

Thanks for taking my remark into consideration.
