Is there a way to "view your own posts" in VB?

labrocca · Jul 11, 2005

I use this feature all the time in my forum sites so I can see if there are any replies to threads I am participating in. In phpbb it is a link usually near the top. The best I can do in VB is use advanced search and type in my own username.

Is there a better way?

Well its probably about the same, but you can click your own profile, and then click on find all posts by labrocca, which would bring you to:

http://www.namepros.com/search.php?do=finduser&u=9710

What labrocca wants to see is something smiliar to "New Posts" but instead of new posts, it will only display the threads in which labrocca has made posts.

I use the UserCP for this. Link is in the menu. There you can see all your "subscribed threads"

Also this link will show all the threads you are subscribed to:
http://www.namepros.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all

My settings are set so I am automatically subscribed to any thread I participate in. You can check your setting here:
http://www.namepros.com/profile.php?do=editoptions

Look under "Default Thread Subscription Mode". I recommend using "No Email Notification", unless you want to be notified by email also. With this setting, you can log into NamePros, click UserCP and see all the new posts in threads you participated in.

Well I prefer to get notified on threads I subscribe to. But if I subscribed to every thread I posted in I would get emails all day long. When I make a sale I normally subscribe to get notified immediately of a post.

Well seems like VB doesn't have this feature. Oh well...another reason why I like phpbb.

Go to advanced search and enter your user name in “Search by User Name”. I use this all the time. It works great. Wish I could add it to the navigation bar of the site.

Yeah I don't think it would be hard for them to add a "view your posts" button somewhere which would just shortcut a few pages for many of us.

Inspired by people doing things the hard way in another thread I decided to post a simple way to do this. Create a bookmark called MyPosts, or whatever you want. Then edit the URL and set it to this:

javascript:document.write ('<html><body><form action="http://namepros.com/search.php" method="post" name="vbform"><input type="submit" class="button" name="dosearch" value="Search Now" accesskey="s" /><input type="hidden" name="s" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" /><input type="text" class="bginput" name="searchuser" size="35" maxlength="20" value="primacomputer"/></form></body></html>');

Replace “primacomputer” with your user name. IE may honk at you about something not handling something, but just ignore it. Now when you click this bookmark you get a small form with a Search button and your user name. Click search and away you go.

Perhaps this could be further automated with a submit() call?
