Who Posted? Searching feature.

This is a small useful suggestion I've seen implemented in another site and was kind of puzzled when it wasn't implemented here.

Basically, when you click on the amount of replies a thread has had, you get the "Who posted?" dialog.

You can click on the username and it goes to the profile.

What I suggest is that when you click the numbers, say you click n4n0, have it search said thread filtering for n4n0's posts.

 

You can just as easily find them, if you know how to operate google. Although, I do think this would be an easier way.

If it's a large thread then you will have a hard time finding the one reply you are looking for. Support.

 

Support, would make finding things easier. This could also help mods in a way.

 

Ahh yes thats a good idea, it'll increase speed of finding what you need! Support.

 

I don't understand what this would achieve or why we need this implementation? I mean, CTRL+F helps perfectly fine? I've never had a need for this, so I can't really support. If someone could explain so I have a better understanding, I'd appreciate it.

 

I agree , however it can sort through all pages of that thread than I can see the usefulness and would support

 

Too much coding for a useless function I my opinion.

 

If there isn't a great deal of coding, I'm sure govind can do it pretty quickly. Would come in handy a lot. Support.

Find all of n4n0's post using CTRL+F

An example of the implementation:

Support, I've wondered why we don't have this before .

 

Support I don't have a extremely thought out reason other then it will just make things easier.

 

I asked Govind about this, I'll let you know if it's a possibility and a yes/no when he lets me know.

 

Supporting this, would make half the reports i make so much quicker

 

Really doesn't matter I don't think you can find their post if you use google search lol.

 

Would be a useful feature if it were to be done. I could definitely see the use for it.

 

I've had to spend a little while searching for posts before. While eventually I always find it, I'm sure that for a fair few members, the efforts to create this function would definitely be worth it.

 

Would an easier way about it possibly be adding a "search a thread" option now that advanced search is back?
