How to search for all posts by username

[plane2port]

It seems that with the new updates that we have lost the ability to search for all posts by username.  There are a few posters that I like to follow and it seems like there is now no way to do it.  Any workarounds?

A quick workaround that I can suggest off the top of my head:-

• Find a post - any post - by that member.
• Hover over their avatar.
• A pop-up will open.
• Click on "Find Content".
• That will take you to a page whose URL is in this format: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/profile/154126-plane2port/content/.
• Bookmark that URL, and you will be able to get back to it easily.

More formally, you could try this:-

• Go to the page for creating an Activity Stream: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/discover/?do=create
• Under "Ownership", click on "Content by specific members".
• In the box that opens up, type the member's user name. When a pop-up appears with the member's user name and their avatar, click on that to confirm it.
• Make sure that you either leave all the other settings as they are, or change only the ones whose effect you definitely want to change. (In particular, leave the first one as ("Show me") as "Content items, comments, and reviews".)
• Give the Activity Stream a title.
• Click "Save Changes".

This new Activity Stream will now be listed under "My Activity Streams", and whenever you go to it, it should show you a list of all posts by that member. If you click on this link - https://boards.cruisecritic.com/discover/836/ - and then save that as an Activity Stream for yourself, you should be able to see this working to show all of your posts. (I will leave that stream up for a few days before deleting it.)

On a pc: Click the magnifying glass on the right of the search field. The  window fills with a search form.

But I found that you still need to insert a search term to make that work. Whatever word you put in, you could miss some of that member's posts if they don't contain the word.

I see what you mean. I guess using a custom stream would be best.

Interesting way is to do a member search.

 

Click search button inside of blue banner, enter user name, toggle from content search to member search

 

 

Scroll down and click Sesrch Members

 

 

I like how they use the phrase Fetching Results while searching.  Took about 30 seconds

 

 

Click on Find Content

 

 

Finished

Thanks to all who replied.  I see there are several ways to go about this.  I decided to use Globilizer's strategy of creating an activity stream for my usual suspects, but its good to know the other methods if I'm just giving someone a quick check out.
