How to find all my forum topics

[Farad]

Too bad the search by topic starter is broken. I wouldn't imagine it being too hard to patch up

that would be nice, but at least this way I can learn to make chrome extensions.

OT: After a day working with them I'm kind of surprised how abusable they can be to the user, like sending the user's passwords, web history and other info to to the whoever the extension creator wants, usually by injecting ahref links into pages. I have to do something similar except clicking the link will show the last topics of whoever's profile you're looking at

what? there is no such thing

it isn't that simple. you aren't just going to be able to find every topic you've made without access to the database the forum uses
like I said before, the only way I can imagine doing it is with a bot
maybe you could make it go through every page on the pages like this and look for your username in the second column

whatever solution you find, it isn't going to be as simple as clicking a button and automatically having a list of all the topics you've made

Step 1: parse these to get topic link

Step 2: check if link goes to first post on a topic, if yes add it to list

you mean there's not a magical website that already does everything exactly how I want to? I could have sworn that is how code worked

ya this was basically my plan from the start. this will help though

I'm honestly not sure why you're being sarcastic, since that's sorta exactly what you said

Ok I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I apologize for my sarcasm. It appears you thought that I actually believed that code worked that way, which would imply that you think I'm completely stupid. This offended me.

when I said this:

I was talking about the end result of my chrome extension. This is exactly what will happen from the user's point of view. Obviously the code will exist to make this possible. it doesn't just happen magically. I hope you understand the sarcasm now

[Farad]

Ok now that I've got pretty good development on the chrome extension, I've decided that I'll release this once it's done so that anyone can use it in their chrome browser. The goal is to make it look like it's actually part of this forum and not an extension, so the button to make it happen will be just under the 'show last posts of this person' link on people's profile pages

holy crap I actually got it to wor-  ..  I mean, of course it works lol.

but yeah I just finished my first piece of code in jQuery. it searches through the html of one of your 'show last posts' webpages and finds links that are to topics that you've created. I feel like a wizard now

[Ducky duck]

If you read the GD topic all the way through you would know it's not finished lol

You could also do it the hard way which I do.

Here's what you could do:

• Make a new favorite folder in Chrome and favorite all your topics you save, and rename it the name of the topic
• In firefox, bookmark your topics and put them somewhere you will remember
