For people who preferred the old "view your posts" function.

deidara330 · 07-19-2009, 11:30 AM

If you click on search, type in your username, and hit "enter", it will show you nearly every thread you've posted in. That's because whenever someone quotes one of your posts, your username is in their post, and so the thread comes up in the search. This works very similarly to the old "view your posts" function.

It doesn't work for me. My username has to be 4+ characters for it to count. Mine is three, so I can't use those functions.

That doesn't work for me either. It brings up every post that has either "Black" or "King" in it.

Go to "Adavanced Search", there's a thing that says "Search By Username" with a dropdown list that says "Find posts by user" to the right of "Search by keyword." Make sure that box that has "Exact Name" beside it is checked. If you type your username in that it does the same thing as the old function. It shows all threads you've posted in.

At least you can get around it. I can't even use that.

I just searched your name with it, and it worked.

:O let me test this.

Black King · 07-20-2009, 12:50 AM

Well...Here's proof it worked.

Tada!

Oh no, I meant like actually searching the forums for my name. Even if it's a post not made by me.

Black King · 07-20-2009, 12:56 AM

Oh, I see. That kind of confuses me, but oh well.

<Aurega?> · 07-20-2009, 01:02 AM

Hmm there is a view your posts option when you click on the search dropdown box. Are you saying it's not working?

Black King · 07-20-2009, 01:05 AM

No, that works. But that displays every post you've made. What we're talking about was a function that the old forum had where it showed all of the threads you've posted in.

It is working. But what I'm talking about is searching the entire forums for any posts with my name in it. The keyword option doesn't work for me since my name is less than 4 characters.

<Aurega?> · 07-20-2009, 01:12 AM

Was that option even present in the old forums?
