How to find all my forum topics

[Farad]

Is there really no way to see all the topics you've made without shuffling through thousands of your last posts?

[Ad Bot]

[Foxscotch]

yep

[Farad]

Could there be a plugin to make this possible?

uh... hypothetically, sure. but I doubt badspot would ever install such a plugin

Wait what? I mean a user-made plugin. it's different than an actual update to the website. Badspot wouldn't have anything to do with it if I understand plugins correctly. I thought that was the entire point of a plugin - to accomplish something that the creator didn't make possible in the original version

Doesn't SMF have to do all this?

I guess the website would have to have plugin support in order for customization like this to be possible. Idk if it has plugin support

[Farad]

Couldn't there be a program that searches through all of a person's last posts and saves the topics they've made? Would it take a while for this program to run through 50 pages of posts?

well. I guess it would be possible if you made a bot to do it. but this is kind of a ridiculous thing to want, so I doubt anyone would do it

I wouldn't have made this topic if I didn't have a reason to want it. I'll make a chrome extension myself

well, yeah, but whatever reason that is is surely ridiculous. what is the reason?

I want to be able to get back to all of the topics I've made usually in order to do one of these things:

• update the save to a build or mod that I've released
• reply to people / manage the topic
• see if anyone has replied to an old help topic (sometimes I don't go back to check the topics after creating them because it takes so long to get any replies)
• help me remember all of the projects I started and never continued with

the only thing that's ridiculous here is the fact that I had to spend the time to list these things just for you. what's the point in being harsh for no reason - this is how wars and crap get started you know. peace

I imagine the search function can solve all of those problems but the last. as for the last one, just make a text file with notepad and add your projects to them as you come up with them
then you can even group them by whether you've only thought of them, started them, or completed them, and you could also add the URL for a topic you made for the project if applicaple

I forget topic titles

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