Hi. I can't find the function to read a thread by author. Am I just not seeing it, or is it not available? Thanks.

It is not available in quite the same way as in phpbb. There are two ways to find all of an author's posts in a thread. One way is to use the "search thread" button at the top of every thread page. enter the author you want to read and click search. You'll get a list of links and previews of all their posts.

The other way is from the thread listing in the subforum. there is a column in the list called "Replies", which has the number of replies in each thread. If you click the number, then you get a list of all the thread participants with the number of posts they have made. If you click the number beside the participant you want to read, then you get the same list of links and previews as in the first search method.

Thank you. Helpful in mafia (for me, anyway).

^ the second method is actually much better for mafia, than the phpbb function.

FF has a function in the members dropdown menu to "only show x's posts". It brings all of the player's posts to the first bunch of pages of the thread. It's even handier in Mafia because it shows the whole post, not just a two line snippet. And because it's a whole post you can multiquote.

I like that modification, but it appears to be something custom-written for FF. I haven't been able to find a similar published mod for vbulletin.

I would actually like a mod that sorts an entire thread by author similar to what ratz has.

Yep, it's a good one.

Is there a ^Your Posts^ link? page 1

Mr. Mellow 14th January 2012, 01:50 AM Aside from subscribing to every thread you post in, is there an equivalent to the "Your Posts" link that could be turned on? Or, an equally easy way to check for subsequent replies to threads I've posted to? oblivion 14th January 2012, 02:49 AM you can see your posts and threads you've started. If you click your name at the right top of the page, you'll go to your profile page. there is a statistics tab. click that and you'll see links to your recent (last 1000) posts and recent threads you've started. In a thread, you can click your name beside your post and get a list of links. One of those links is your recent posts. Mr. Mellow 14th January 2012, 05:55 AM Oh, yes, I know about that. The "Your Posts" link that both Ratz (top of their page) and Ratskept use takes you not only to the thread you've posted in, but to the latest unread post in that thread, in one step. This is actually what I'm in

should members be able to change their votes in polls? page 1

oblivion 16th January 2012, 03:42 PM In the thread about showing member post counts, Seraph asked the following: ... Oh, and on a tangent: Can polls be configured to allow revoting? vanilla vbulletin doesn't have a member-vote-change feature. admins can change the vote tally if a person requests, but it's a manual thing and only affects the count, not the record of who voted for what. I found a vbulletin hack that allows members to change their votes. It also lets people write-in their own poll options and vote for it. When setting up the poll, it looks like the OPer can decide whether to enable vote-changing or not. An admin can modify this after the fact. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=198535 The hack is for version 3.7, but from reading the replies, people have installed it on 3.8 versions successfully. Anyway, I figure step one is to talk about whether we'd like this functionality. ConvolutedLogic 16th January 2012, 03:48 PM I don'
