Oh lovely tech would it be possible to amend the search...

to include all namechanges? I realise it would slow it down rather so maybe an option?

It would make life simpler when looking for things posted at xmas, halloween or just incognito

Thanks

that would out embarrassed name changers though cd.

but what we could have is a search where "username contains". that way I could search on CountessDrac and get ChristmasCountessDrac, CountessDracoWhacko etc.

Yes, you'd get all the changes which were for anonymity too.

And sometimes people change names slighty precisely to avoid being searchable.

So you just want a "search for posts by myself" button really?

(I'm loving my use of the word "just" there, BTW. I have no idea how difficult it would be )

Yes
I suppose so

Sounds rather narcissistic

CD, yes, I've thought that often too.

Not sure why, since I never namechange. Must've been being altruistic or something

actually, all we need is a "posts by cd" button.

Hello
I have no idea how complicated this is (it sounds it) but I'll see what his royal Techiness says.

It's only like a grander version of threads I'm on, surely?

That brings up all posts by whatever namechange you've had.

It must be peasy, surely?

C'mon, Tech, what's stopping you? Surely you've nothing else to do?

Thanks
