[Forum] Can't find threads I posted in anymore.

[dodgez]

I use to be able to search for my username and it would come up with every thread I have ever posted in. It would put threads with the latest updates at the top and of any threads with updates would be in bold. I like this option so much I made a "My Threads" button for my users that would search based on their username when they clicked it.


Now I can only find threads I started and not all the threads I have posted in. It default sorts by Relevance?

If you click on your username, the 'View Forum Posts' link shows as:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/search.php?do=finduser&userid=78926&contenttype=vBForum_Post&showposts=1

Try adapting that to your own site's needs?

[dodgez]

see how it shows threads started by different people? I have posted in everyone of those threads. I can quickly see there is an update and I click the drop down arrow to go right to the new post in the thread.

here is what the I used...
/forums/search.php?do=process&showposts=0&starteronly=0&exactname=1&searchuser=DodgeZ


When I run it now it ONLY shows me threads I started and it doesn't sort by the threads last post.

bump

This is becoming a big issue and I haven't seen vbulletin really address it.

I think the only way to fix it is to turn on autosubscribe to thread as a default.

Remember the new vbulletin motto!

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

If you turn on autosubscribe and go to subscriptions.php -- you should get what you are looking for.

Here you go...

search.php?do=process&showposts=0&starteronly=0&exactname=1&searchuser={vb:raw bbuserinfo.username}

[fkatzenb]

It appears the starter only isn't working

Fixed:

search.php?do=finduser&userid={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}&starteronly=0&contenttype=vBForum_Thread

for years and years we have had a way to quickly find everything we have posted in or started. I can't do that now. I can find a thread I just posted in on this forum. That is just sad. Maybe I can use to autosubscribe, but how to I find something someone else posted? Like I recall "frank" said said something in a thread. I search for Frank and can only find threads he started??? The search on vb has always sucked and sadly they made it worse.

say I am not on my forum and I am on.... say... this forum... I can't find my threads... well not easily and there is no way a normal user will know how to do it.

here is what I use that works.
search.php?do=finduser&&searchuser=dodgez&starteronly=0&exactname=1&dosearch=Search+Now&se archfromtype=vBForum%3APost&do=process&contenttypeid=1

works on xenforo software... maybe you all should ask them for help............

If you even can't find the announcements forum how can you expect to find your own posts?

It seems you don't read the threads before you start nutswinging.
