Interactive on names

Could we have the facility to click on a username and view their other posts (maybe last 20 posts or last 14 days)
This would help to get to know people as well as being generally an entertaining way to browse, and a handy way to go back to a topic you have mislaid for example.

I can see what you are saying but my worry would be that some people on here seem to delight in using people's more personal threads to attack them on other parts of the site.

I worry that this function would make it easier for people to do it.

A sad state of affairs really :(

Ann, you should be able to do that already, by putting the username in the box at the top of this page and clicking 'search site'. Mind you, it is rarely working.

There is another way though. In your search engine, type the following: (I'll put in my name as an example - obviously you will want to search a different username).

mrs.chappie site:theanswerbank.co.uk

You have to type it exactly as above, space between the username and the word 'site'.

It's not infallible but it is better than the facility on here. Try it and see how you get on.

Hahahahaa...I tried mrs.chappies suggestion.....and found 19,600 entries for myself!! Very bizarre....and had no idea I had said so much on here-lol

When I do that, I get posts where other users have addressed me, not my posts.

I tried it too... wow!

[mrs.chappie]

Errrr .... well I did say it wasn't infallible didn't I girls!!!! lol

It seems to pick up the posts that have the word you have searched for in it, don't ya think?

The strange thing is, when I type in mrs.chappie, it does exactly as I want it to with my username - all my posts come up. (I have just typed it in Google).

Ethel, could it be that you answer a lot more posts than ask questions? So perhaps it's picked up a question, but it's several pages on? Know whatta mean?

Pasta, serves ya right for choosing a username which is also a food!

Hey girls, bet I've impressed ya though - my knowledge of computers is very, very limited!

:o)

Hi

I'll bring this up in future meetings. I believe that the developers are currently looking into a meatier profile section for AB which could incorporate your suggestion.

Cheers
