silly question about looking up posters history

Hello
Changing names on this site is allowed and I've changed it once
How do I look up usernames - I've tried search but it does not appear to work.

Advanced Search is frowned upon for point scoring. What do you intend to use it for?

It won't tell you what other user names a poster has had, if that's what you're trying to do?

To see all posts by a particular username it's search, then filter, then by username.

Very bad form to do the 'oh, last week you had 3 DC and now it's 2🤔🤔' thing though.

I hate when some users over do it and starts going into the nitty gritty of what a user has posted 6 years ago. I personally have never done it but it's too many posters nowadays spewing lies left, right and center to fit their own narrative so catching them in the thick of their lies is sometimes warranted.

There was a thread before with this same scenario and the OP ran away, next thing you know the thread got taken down. It was all a lie.

If a poster is being an idiot I might look at previous posts to see if they are always as annoying or argumentative 😂. I wouldn't post about it, I would just do it to amuse myself.

Yes, but if its in the region of "husband ran off with the nanny" but last week you were a 18 year old student who is desparate for a child, then I see no problem with it at all

a DC changing from boy to girl or age from 6 to 8 or similar is fine in my view as they legitimately could be just trying to not be id'd
