Is this featurewhere you go to a members profile then click on "view posts by user"  not working for other people too or is it just me?

Not working for me. Tried to look up something a couple of week ago. Got an empty page.r

That feature was removed when I switched the site over to the google search. But I am working on a fix which will be available shortly.

it would be better if all posts by user were only accessible to the user for their own purposes and not to anyone else

Exactly Macka..

I asked for this feature to return, as it was a great tool for research,

A work around for the time being is to do a search on their username, it works reasonably well.

 

I'm lookin' forward to the return; I reckon it's a real handy piece of kit.

 

Another way of searching for something specific is to type this in to the Google search, site:hdforums.com.au
For instance if you were searching for FXR related stuff you would type it like (site:hdforums.com.au fxr) without the brackets of course. Hope this helps

Sorry kingchops did not realize it did
