Last Posts

[B'rrr]

I was wondering.... you can view the last 10, 50 or all posts from a person (ie. when you select there profile) is there a possibility to view the last 100 or something?

...I mean, for some ppl the last 10 or 50 is often too little, if i want to see that persons previous posts (they post too fast, too much ; )

and can you view all posts from a person made on a specific day? ...or better between specific dates? I tried to do that in the search 'section' but it won't permit it if i use an empty searchfield (to get all posts between 2 dates) ...hmmm now that i think of it i could use an 'i' or another letter, but not all letters are always used... ; / ...I was just wondering if there is another way, an easier way... ; )

For the search thing, I'd recommend the letter "e"... unless a person makes some really short posts, it's almost guaranteed that letter will be in there somewhere. No idea about the other stuff, though.

yeah, I thought I use the letter I, cuz  ...well you know, lots of ppl talk in the first person, but it won't work with short posts or passive 'talk' ; \

thnx for the advice though

Nice idea!  I'll look into it.

In SQL there is.  I learned how to convert the posting date to a normal date format.  Didn't anyone notice that the stats page now has the stats for the months prior to October?    

Anyway, I find the forum search feature a little annoying, especially when trying to look for older posts.  But instead of using a letter, just put in a *  

[Jeysie]

Argh. You know, I know about using the "*" as part of a word, or when you want to search for a word as the second part of a phrase or something, but I never thought to suggest using it as itself. Bad brain cells, you didn't bump together!

hmmm... no i didn't noticed that ; /

Thanks for all the help... and I should have thought about the '*' (duh) hahahaha, thnx a lot ; )

I find the search feature a bit annoying too, but usually i find what i'm looking for (although it takes some time sometimes ; )

Not all search engines use the "*" as a wildcard (or have wildcards at all, for that matter)

Sometimes when I try to display all posts made by someone I get a timeout error... darn high postcounts

[B'rrr]

lol, like getting all Say's post ; ) hahahaha

Yeah I know, they really should have made the results go 20 per page instead of ALL at one time.

lol good luck with that

...noo.... 20 is too few! ; ( ...then i have to switch pages too often, i like scrolling around... ; )

[Storm]

The rate some people are going, it should be 1000 posts a page

BTW - those were my posts I got a timeout error trying to display... I dread what would happened if I tried to display Say's  

[Say]

yah 5000's are awesomez

too awesome to display all together!!

You can now view the last 100 and 250 posts of a user.  It was a lot easier than I thought!    

I wanted to put 500 too, but the results took way too long to load. Even at 250 it takes a while, but for those willing to wait it out, it might be handy.
