Search option inside a Post....

Hi guys,

 

If altenbach, ben, Dennis, tbob, Smercurio_fc, Ravens Fan, Ray R... like this guys started some thread means.... that threads are going upto 20 to 40 pages. at that time it is very tough to find where a particular last post is.. So inside the post if the forum having any search engine with 2 options like...

1. Search (or sort) a post by date.

2. Search by person(Name). That will be easy for filter particular persons post and get benefit...

You can actually determine this from the page that displays the threads. I.e., the Message Listings page. The "New" column indicates the new posts, and each of those numbers is a link. Click on the number to be taken to the last unread messages. When you have a thread with lots of replies you'll get a page number added to the thread title like this [ 1 2 3 4 ... ]. The last one will be the character ">>". Clicking on that will take you to the last page of the thread.

You currently cannot search within a thread, though I agree this would be useful. I've seen this capability on lots of other forum software, so I have no idea why this is missing in Lithium's software. As for the sort, you can sort a thread by date by clicking on the Topic Options menu:

I am assuming that you are referring to searching for the replies by a certain user with a specific thread?

I am resurrecting this as I think searching inside a thread would be a useful feature.

Hello guys,

 

Finally accepted it.... 🙂

Once i found a useful point in a post. When I try to find after a week, I couldn't. because the post size became more than 500 replys... I try to move forward page by page.... But finally I failed  to find. So I thought of this point....

 

Anyway Thanks!!!!

I went back and verified that this idea has been reported to our forum vendor and that I voted for it Smiley Happy Perhaps it will show up in the future?
