Well... most of the bugs seem to be out (I think?).... I've got 1 problem and 1 request.

1) The "last login" is about 7 days behind. Today is 9/9 and it says last visited 9/1/09 (I was here 9/8). Someone else posted about this, I think. Because the date is 7 days ago, the "posts since last visit" is also showing a lot more than should be.

2) I like the separation of My Threads vs My Posts in the side bar. With My Posts, though, I have three requests:
[INDENT]A) The new software sorts by the date/time of my last actual post. The old software sorted by date/time of the last post in general (regardless of who posted, as long as I posted somewhere in that threat). IE if somebody replied to my post, then it'd be bumped to the top of the list. Can we get it to sort that way again?

A-1) Also I just realized that if I posted 3 separate comments in one thread, then that thread will show up 3 times under My Posts. The old software just showed that thread once, regardless of how many times I posted inside the thread.

B) Can we make it so the last poster and time/date are visible. That way I know whether I should go look at that post. Or if I see that I am the last poster, I know not to go look at it.

C) It shows Max 500 results. Sometimes I need to reference posts that I made back in 2006, and with 500 max results I'll never be able to find them again.
[/INDENT]


I've just found the URL to do exactly what I want above (compliments of the vBulletin website). For people who liked the way "My Posts" displayed on the old forum better, use the link below and replace your username:

http:// www.debtconsolidationcare.com /forums/search.php?do=process&searchuser=[username]
(spaces were added so it doesn't appear as a link).

I like this format better because: 1) it lists "unique" threads you've posted or replied to (ie it won't show the same thread 4X just because you've got 4 replies in it), 2) it shows the last poster's name & date and time, and 3) it sorts descending order by date/time of the last post.

Example (for Debtruncher's posts):
http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/forums/search.php?do=process&showpost&exactname=0&searchuser=debtcruncher

Note: when you run the search, you are redirected to a page that has an URL similar to http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com /forums/search.php?searchid=33767

DON'T BOOKMARK THAT PAGE. The searches are cleared from the queue hourly, so after an hour that URL won't work any more.

Make sure that you are properly book-marking http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com /forums/search.php?do=process&searchuser=bea2ls
(minus the {space} between .com and /forums).
