Update the search and profile?

[BrandonIke]

i looked at my profile and it shows so and so number of posts i made, but can you make it so i can click on this number and see a listing of my posts so i can go back to them easily?

also, i tried searching for posts with my name “brandonike” but it showed nothing. can you make the search able to find posts from a specific member?

i don't even remember many of the posts i made, and i can't go back and read them easily.

Hi BrandonIke,

Good to hear from you again.

I did a search on your posts and got the following results.
https://heavennet.net/cgi-bin….9e9814d

I chose 'BrandonIke' in the Keywords
Then 'Member Name' in Type of Search
Then 'All Open Forums' in Forums
Also 'Topic Titles and Posts' in Search in…
and 'The beginning' in Search From.

The results as you can see just show the discussions where you have made posts and not all the posts. Yes I agree that it would be useful to see all the posts listed out, but the Ikonboard software doesn't allow for this yet.

The Forum will be upgraded from time to time and new features and security will be added. So maybe this feature will be included in a future release.

I am also thinking of using phpBB software in the next upgrade. It is Open Source and therefore the code is not only hackable, but many others who hack it are obliged to share their code by reason of the GPL. This has lead to a very robust and inovative package.

If you are not sure what GPL is, then you should find out about it. It has a lot of proprietry software companies scared stiff. Even Microsoft acknowledges it as their greatest nemesis. But hardware and service companies like IBM and Sony love it.

Anyway, the short of it is that it may be included. It depends on the upgrade path taken, but I will bear this feature in mind when upgrading next time.

thx for the input.

Oh one more thing.

When you go to your search results, you can then click on the print button for each discussion. This will format all the posts in that discussion in 1 page. From there, you can do an “Edit > Find' from the browser with your name as the keyword. You will then jump to all your posts or to all entries where you name is mentioned in that particular discussion.

I hope this helps.
