The Suggestion Thread

Reflecting back on the ''search by user'' in a thread option, would it be possible to get a ''search by user'' in a forum option.

Sometimes I wanna find a thread I made ages ago, and it takes me forever to figure out what key words to use.

I'm having problems with my spell checker!

You can, like Storm said....see? Either do that, or at the top, click "Thread Starter". Just set it back to "Last Post" to put it back to normal.

But it does need a lot of time to find, let'S say your Threads in teh OTF..at least 5 Clicks.

Completely strenuous 😛

Yeah I know, but try using that method in the OTF - then try searching someone whos username begins with O or M. Or even D. Its a nightmare, and its very time consuming.

The vB search has an option to narrowdown by forum and username. Assuming you can remember a keyword that you used.

Sometimes I can't. Not only for my threads, but other people's threads too. I was just recently looking for a thread made by silver_tears while back to merge with a new one, but i couldnt find it via keyword search.

I had to stort them out by thread starter and start from the back - it took ages.

I know what you mean, it would be very useful, since sometimes one only remembers who started a thread not what it was called. And you have to guess what page might have the usernames starting with "S" (for example), which indeed is very time consuming.

Plus the forum search is down 😕

Edit; My bad... it's back 🥷

I think censors on words like f*ck and b*tch should be dropped. Not only can anyone 13 or older tell quite blatantly what they are anyway, but I think it's a bit odd how someone can come onto KMC, openly be old enough to read about rape, death, gun crime and sex, only to be told "Nah, not old enough to read that word yet."

Agreed, although it's highly unlikely it'll happen. KMC has to appear as though it's protecting its younger members, whilst not actually enforcing even half decent rules in that area 😄

Not very time consuming at all, if you type in the page number in the address bar at the top...I found all my threads in the OTF in under 5 minutes once.

Type in the page number?

✅

I marked the piece I'm talking about.

Sort by thread starter in the OTF and your threads are on page 48.

Took about 15 seconds to find.

😛

The reason it took me about 5 minutes to find my threads before is because it was the first time I'd used that and was skipping through by about 5 pages at a time.

Can you give me a step by step on what you mean Lana? I knew what you meant by typing in the page number, but I wanted to know why and how that makes Milla's problem easier.

If it's that easy, then why is she asking? Maybe she means something different?

We have search in PMs, search in threads, but why not search in forums?

{Maybe I'm just being retarded 🥷 }

By typing in the page number, you can skip through as many pages as you want, which makes searching faster. Like when I was looking for Bardock's threads I skipped straight to page 30, saw it wasn't far enough, skipped to page 50, saw it was just a tiny bit TOO far, and went back one page at a time until I found the right one.
