Well, this is totally new system.
i noticed when clicking on user names there's few options including find posts by the user,

so if its not a really big thing, it would be great if you can add "find topics" by member.

It's already there. In 2.1.x too, I believe.

Find Topics by forums.bd

u can do it via the search area by typing in their member name as topic author.

I agree, it should be in the dropdown for the name link in topics. original.gif

+1, I would like to see this in the drop down name link menu as well. original.gif

+1 please add it back, why would you remove it? Doesn't take much room

that's only to find the topics in which the member posted in, not the topics STARTED by the member.

It's still in the profile, I would just like to see it in the topic menu. original.gif

I thought there was something missing. I agree, it should be added back in. original.gif

While theya re at it, they should do what ntd did in a mod and include "find member's posts in this topic"

It's not really usefull as it is though, it only finds the topics that member has started, not the topics the member has participated in.

Yeah, I sue it on my main forum. I think it is pretty useful where you can quickly see a person's post history for the topic.

This could be handy, just wonder if there will end up being too many options in the drop-down menu.

^^ Which is probably why the topics link was left out.

That's the purpose of it though. tongue.gif

And it is very useful in a lot of ways. biggrin.gif

I think the way it has been in phpBB for ages (=all topics where you participated in) is more usefull from a member point of view, especially members who visit the forum irregularly and who want to see whether there were any replies to their topics (their topics being not necessarily topics they started) original.gif

I requested this a while ago whistling.gif

I disagree, Peter.

When I click "find topics" I want to see the topics created by the user, just how the find posts finds all posts made by the user.

If I want to see topics that have new replies that I've participated in, I look for the status icon with the dot that shows me I've posted there. :/

I think there's a little confusions. let me clarify.

- find topics in which the user has posted
IS DIFFERENT FROM
- finding topics which the user started
IS DIFFERENT FROM
- finding all posts by the user!
