Question re: compiling a specific poster's OP's

[toddxlogan]

Hi All-

I've asked a couple mods about this, and nobody seems to know.

I'm looking for a way to do something similar to a username search, except I only want to find threads where said person is the OP - basically, I want a list of all the threads a specific person has started. Anyone know how to do this?

Help on this would be much, much appreciated. Figure i'll let this sit here for a while before pestering Mat with a PM.

Thanks!

Todd

set the search term = -"re"
select "in subject"

username = whoever you want..

/iron


err i was curious tried this with you it did not return this post because the subject has re in it but most of the time...

-"re:"

ok, ill ask, whose OPs are you looking to compile?

[*TT*]

um, why not just click on "Show Users Posts"?

Not that it matters too much, I think we are switching forum software next week so there will be new methods of searching LDO.

then he would have responses and created threads alike. I think by OP he means only threads that guy made himself.

eh that still wouldnt work 100% correctly but he gets the idea

one problem with using -re: is that if a poster regularly adds his own title to his replies, like this one, then those replies show up in the search. apparently assani does this, which made me very [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] when i was looking for the hot oat running thread a while back.
