Title: Searching for posts of a member in a specific board
Post by: Marcov on November 03, 2011, 08:52:42 am: How can I look for all the posts of a member in a specific board (e.g. search all posts of Marcov except on Offtopic discussion forums)?

I am interested in seeing judgefloro's ontopic posts, if he has any (it says "66" on the post count so he should have them).

Thanks in advance.

Yes, but that still doesn't search the posts of a particular member only.

But what if that member has thousands, and I want to look for one buried deep in the middle of his post list?

Post by: jr2 on November 11, 2011, 03:06:42 pm: Marcov, if you can find a Simple Machines plugin that will allow this (Simple Machines is the forum software that HLP is running), maybe you could convince an admin to implement it. However, I don't see one with a cursory Google search. (Searched: simple machines search posts of member)

Use the advanced search and then where it says "By user:" enter the name of the user.

It's not like that should have been hard to figure out! :rolleyes:
