{snip...}[/i] Incidentally, why are there 2 Forums levels? [E.g. Forums > Forums > Beginner's Forum] Is that another 1st class perk?
Pete, Dwight
What I believe Pete is referring to is highlighted (i.e. red rectangle & arrow) in the following image.
The answer:
The first
"Forum" on the left refers to (and links to) the
"All Forums" web page, where all of the
"Forum Groups" are displayed (i.e. News, Forums, On30 Forums, Power & Sound Forums, 1st Class Forums, & Web Site & Forum Help) along with their respective individual forums.
The second
"Forum" from the left refers to (and links to) the web page that displays only the forum group labeled
"Forums" and includes only its respective individual forums.
Much the same way that the old Snitz forum software did, note you'll only see the double
"Forums > Forums >" when you are in one of the individual forums that reside within the forum group labeled
"Forums". Additionally, note that just as in the old forum software the
"Forum Group" labels on the
"All Forums" page are links and if clicked will result in only that group being displayed when the page refreshes.
Regarding that portion of Pete's original question about locating the posted replies of a given user. I find that it's easier to find any reply posted by the desired user then click the individual's User ID (located at the top of the cell in the
"Author" column for that particular reply), which will take you directly to that users Forum Profile screen. Where you can click the "View Posts By User[/i]" link to the right of the users post count value, which will retrieve all replies posted by that individual.
Since the above action will retrieve all posted replies by that user by default, which can be quite a few. As depicted in the image below. You can click the "Advanced Search" features button, indicated by the red-headed arrow on the right. Then use the "From" search criteria drop-down list indicated by the red rectangle on the left, to narrow the date range that will be included in the results set that is returned.
