sort by number of posts

[wgoodf]

doodie - kinda aint been around much so i thought i would see who had been busy since i was mostly not here.

on the member list page you cant sort by number of posts like you used to, or have i went to the wrong place to do that 'sort'?

It looks like the admins have tried to completely remove the post count function - since the new forums it hasn't been displayed under people's names, but was still available in the profiles and the search, but it looks like it's gone from there now too. It doesn't seem possible to kill it completely though, you can still get someone's post count by clicking "search for all posts by..." and seeing how many results are returned

 

[wgoodf]

your still busy here then!

yeah i was never fan of the whole post count thing - way to many fights on that one.

it was handy in these circumstances tho - however i think i will survive!

Yeah, I noticed that too.

I guess the admins didn't like it.

But it was handy to see who was really active.

I've never been bothered about post counts myself. It's quite easy to see who is most active simply by reading the threads.

There is more significance in having continued access to older posts than just who's active, and some of that significance may have been overlooked. It is frequently less taxing, or dispiriting, to refer to older posts that have already answered the latest enty-enth iteration of the same question, or that perhaps just cast some light on the matter. That is less convenient under the present arrangement. Older posts also often contain a record of someone's research, or hardware details, imaginative hacks, and so on.

Can we hope that the evident pruning of post numbers does not reflect another data loss?

To figure post count, do this...

Go to http://68kmla.org/forums/search.php?search_author=

Where is the name of the user you want to look up. After this post gets posted, I'll have 356 posts.

Peace,

True. But I am too lazy to do all the searching myself
