Did anyone else notice that in a topic thread that you can now click on the portion under the person's username that says: Posts: xx and it will show you all the posts for that user? Is this something new? I dont remember seeing that before.

Without having to go all the way trough the pages looking for something you may have posted.

This applies under the last poster lists in the forums as well. This \"new feature\" to see a user's past posts by clicking their post count is redundant. All you have to do, is click their name (oh wait..).... go to their profile, click \"Find all posts by this user\"

If you are browsing through the forum its a convenient feature. In regards to not being able to click on the person's username and be taken to their profile, I dont think that is really such a big issue if you are browsing through the forum. When you are looking at a thread there is a link at the bottom of each person's post for PROFILE that will take you to their profile. If you are looking at all the threads posted in a given section I can see where it would be nice to be able to click on a username and be taken to their profile.

I am just glad that Blake continues attempting to make positive changes that makes the majority of them happy.

Blake is doing a wonderful job of maintainin this forum. Dealing with PHP is a little different than the ASP world we had been in There are 2 mods I would like to see- #1 is Quick reply, and #2 reduces large images and provides a link to full size.

Nor can I see any when I click on the new feature just added for this user. I get a message saying something like no such list exists. Except this poster has almost 400 post. Maybe one can block others being able to see such info?

I just checked the options shown under \"profile\" and I cannot see where a user would be able to do that himself. If it is possible, only Blake would have the function. By chance, could it be someone that is now banned/suspended from the board? Or we have a glitch, which is also possible.

Currently there are 9 users that have a post count over 300+ and 7 of them are at the 400+ mark. All of them are currently active members.

The only one close to the 300 mark at 298 is Mr. James Harrow and we know his status.

I looked at the person's posting count you are referencing and I am having the same problem you do. Back to top    URL GaryErrol

The REALLY nice thing about the changes, is that when you are looking at the search screen after clicking, \"view posts since last visit,\" you can click on the time/date portion at the far right of each topic and it brings you right to the most recent post of that thread. This is nicer than having to click on the thread and scroll down 24 posts to see what's new.

After speaking with Blake, that is apparently a system glitch that Gary has encountered. Back to top    URL
