Title: Help with Search
Post by: Ghastly on March 07, 2008, 12:34:25 PM

Help! Help! Help!  The WWIIOL forums had a feature that I used all the time - which was you could search for all posts within a time period by any of the game developers - it was a great way to stay on top of what the developers were doing.

We don't have that feature here, so about every 2 weeks or so, I would do a search for all posts by each of Hitech, Pyro, Skuzzy and Waffle over the last month or so to see what I might have missed with respect to the information the developers might be putting forth.

Now, with the new version, I can't figure out how to do you search for ALL posts by a particular user - if leave the text field blank, it won't search.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Also on the previous board one could search for all posts by one's username.
Now typing a username and "*" to searched word does not work at all.

Searching only by username in advanced search results as "Did you forget to put something to search for?"

Ghastly, ever since the HTC home page (www.hitechcreations.com) was redesigned they almost never post news in the forum. Everything news related is generally put on the home page. the only reason a feature like the one you are asking for would be useful is for archived older news.

No, it's not.  A lot of times the developers will answer a question for someone else or post something that if it's not of immediate application, is worth knowing for when you have the same or similar question or issue later.

Ghastly click on my name for my profile. At the bottom is a line something like, show all post by this user.

When things calm down, I'll ask Skuzzy to enable it.  On mine there is a suspicious space that probably would say something like that, but doesn't.

<S> and thanks!

The link that says "Show the last posts of this person" shows all the posts from the person.
