Search for all posts by this user
#4
You can perform this search manually (rather than hitting the link in the profile) with the following settings:


Search:
  • Leave the Keywords field blank
    <>
  • In the 'Filter by Member Name' field, enter the user's name, and check 'Match Exact Name' and 'Search with Username alone'
    <>
  • Specify your sorting and/or date criteria<>

    Voila. A little more work, but gets you closer to what you want. The default search order for "find all posts by this member" lists the posts by descending order of the thread's last post, not by descending order of the user's posts themselves. The other search options do the same thing. AFAIK there's no way to do a search and order them by actual posting date - just by the date of last modification to the thread. This is a major oversight in the design, if you ask me - even in the later versions of IBF (up to 1.3) you can't sort by actual post date, even in the "list as individual posts" method of displaying the results.

    So, the long and the short of it is that, without Yet Another Modification ™, you can't sort a user's posts by post date - the best you can get is by last-modification-date of the thread they appear in.
