question about new forum

[another1]

when i go to a members name and ask to see recent post i am told 'Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.'

entered 'brokecolin', then 'show recent post'. different terms might be what!?

Try searching just Colin or Broke Colin. You get threads where Colin is mentioned.

yeah! but that's what did colin post recently. not how many times i or somebody recently mentioned colin. different result!
looking for actions by colin, not number of mentions of his name.

what be up!?

if i search for colin is get 4 mentions and if i search for broke colin i get 7 mentions. brokecolin gets one mention.
still no post or threads by colin. i know a manual search will reveal a number over 7. i am too tired to search thru the thread to find what i am looking for. that the purpose of the search feature to do the search for me, in seconds, when it could take me many minutes.

I wonder if this is one of the things that needs tweaking. You can search for posts by a specific username, and once you start typing in the name, a menu pops up for you to search by username. That feature is great. But not working apparently. Try looking at his profile page. One neat new feature is you can look at the threads a user is posting on. Like that a lot, too.

Go to Colin's profile page, look for the statistics, and it will give you all threads started by Colin in order.
