How to search for threads started by a specific user?
« on: December 22, 2022, 03:44:39 PM »
I've seen this feature on other fora, but I can't seem to find it here.  I can find a list of posts by a specific user, or a list of topics they've posted in, but I can't find a list of threads they've started.  Is there a way to do this?

EDIT: never mind, it's the "Topics" link.  I thought it showed a list of threads the user has posted in, but it's actually exactly what I'm looking for!

Wow, I had no idea that the Show Posts page basically had tabs... 8+ years on these forums and I never noticed. Thanks for pointing it out!

Click on their name or avatar, then go to show posts and then scroll down a bit and youll see 3 options: messages (all threads they posted in), topics (all threads they started) and attachments (all attachments they put in there posts).

Ironically, scrolling through someone's old posts to my posts led me to this post.

There are only three other posters in this thread. Who were you snooping on?  =P
