My posts and a better search?

[roger06]

Hi guys - can we please have ...

1. A quick link to see all one's posts (I'm sure this exists but I can never find it)

2. A filter on the search so one can select which forum to narrow it down.

Thanks

You can't see all one's own posts, no, but you can see the dozen or so most recent by clicking on your user name over on the left there. Clicking on '327 posts' or whatever currently leads you nowhere, as I've just found out, which makes me cross.

Yes, it would be useful to be able to search by sub-channel, but that's not going to happen this year, I think.

Yep, suspect a continuing problem with our redirects I think, which if I remember rightly might be sorted today...

Sorry, an error has occurred.

Re forum search - it's only a case of adding a drop down box and amending the query that's sent to the database server! About an hour's work I reckon...

You'd think, wouldn't you...?

Yup, the Forums are run in Community Server rather than the main content management system used for the rest of the site, so adding functionality is not quite as straightforward as you might think.

Re Error Messages, if this happens return to the Homepage as directed and start your search in Forums afresh. Annoying, I know, but it will usually get you back to where you want to be.
