Last post

Is there ayb way, as in the old forum, to see a person's last post? I try to click on "See all posts by this member" and it tells me I do not have the priviledge to access it. Is there any way of doing this?

That's because search has been disabled for the moment I think.

I'd also like to get the last post looking back... I guess we just gotta get used to this...

It is annoying, cos sometimes I say 'I have not seen so-and-so for long, I wonder when they last posted' but I cannot see it! Please reactivate that function!

I would also like it reactivated...but with the search function on, the forums become too unbearably slow.

It most likely will stay off. Next to the setting it says "this option should only be enabled for smaller forums".

That stinks. Why does it take up so many resources?

Here is the solution. Look at someone's profile in the upper right corner:

Searching is difficult since every record has to compared to the word(s) you are searching for...

I know no matter what happens with search someone will complain, but is it possible to barely enable it? I remember before the upgrade we were limited to searches every two minutes...could it be made ten minutes? Ten hours even?

It says "showing the last post on a member profile can cause large table scans which leads to table locking. This may increase load time on your forums as well as the load of your server. "

There are other nifty features that we can't take advantage of, like the Similar Thread search feature that shows a list of similar threads at the bottom of a thread.

A feature like this is active at another forum I visit. It does slag down load time and is generally worthless anyway. If it's like the one I know, the links coughed up would be hilarious. Someone could surf a summer olympics thread and wind up clicking on the next "topical" thread and find directions on how to mod a Hoplite. (Both threads would be "similar" because they're about Greece...)

Ah the comedy that spelling mistakes can generate...

Is there a way to have it just show where someone's last post is, without a link? It's helpful to know who still active, and who isn't.

Sorry for bumping a fairly old thread, but I would rather that, than start a new one.

If you just want to know that they are still visiting CFC then you can just check the date that they last logged in.

 

[Gogf]

Where is that?

AFAIK it doesn't show up on people who are invisible modists.

I can't find it in Dell's profile.

Looks like that is because I am invisible... Try looking at someone else's profile.
