What would you all think about a "Latest Posts" feature?
Perhaps when you are looking at a poster's profile, you could click "Lastest Posts" and it would show a page full of links to the last 10 or 20 posts they have made.

That way if you see that every single one is parroting a right wing talking point or whatever, it saved you a few steps of work, doing an advanced search, typing in their username etc.

Would something like this be possible? Is there a place to post suggestions for the forum? :shrug:

4. Would people use it discredit an idea by that poster if they could not do so on it's merits?
I don't spend time tracking what other people post, don't care too. I agree on one thread, not on another.

Some folks though love to follow others around and such (had some do that to me when i pissed in their wheaties one time - as though everything I posted from then on was not true/etc - weak ass arguments from people who had already lost the debate).

There are posters here whose posts I look for because I really want to read them. People like Bvar22 for instance.

Could we get this feature?

That's a great idea...

15. Type the screen name in the search block, select all forums, select
time frame from last 24 hours to any of the longer periods available. The screen will show threads, and if one is seeking the posts the screen name initiated - that can be done in a matter of moments.

Advanced search is similar.

17. I think it would encourage everyone to become vigilante troll hunters
It would lead to name calling and pile-on behavior on posters, rather than polite alerts to the mods.

Just do it the old fashion way and search by author like the rest of us. :P
