1)  Click on Search, then Advanced Search, or go into the user's profile and use the convenient link.

It could be I missed it but when I looked it seemed to me that using the advanced search you can only search for keywords, and not view all the posts or thread by a user, and in the user's profile you can only view the latest posts.

Many thanks!

Ah - I see your point.  It won't let you wildcard the words, will it?

What you seek is available in the individual profiles.  Here's yours:

http://mortalmist.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10;sa=showPosts

Just go to the member's profile and then down under "additional information".

Thanks! I was a bit misled by the text which says "Show the last posts of this person" - I though it will only show the last posts, but now I see you can view all the posts, 15 posts per page.

Man are there a lot of requests. Haven't read them all - hope this is not a repeat.

I enjoy reading dream journals, lucids in particular - but my time is limited.

It would be cool if a reader could view the dream journals page and immediately see if a persons journal contains a lucid dream for that day.

Perhaps you could simpy display the journal link in a different color if the last lucid post = today? Or keep them in a different color for 24 hours?

That would make it very easy for the reader to filter out non-lucids which might not be as interesting.

This relates to and idea of my own, very simillar.

It was early in the morning and I saw that one lucid was already posted, and I found myself wanting to click the L next to the 1 in today's numbers, intuitively.

This would be a good way of doing what Dr Tech here wants I think?

Hey, yeah, I've found myself wanting to do the same thing, AspiR! That would be a great addition.

I like AspiR's idea too! I think I've actually done the same thing once or twice too and wondered why nothing was happening until I realized it wasn't a link....
Back from the dead...let's hope I'll stick to it.

Yeah. Thats intuitive design, when things work because you expect them to, not because you learned that they do...

We have a tag that does noparse - [nobbc].

The ability to look at today's lucids and dreams is a great one.

As far as knowing if individuals have updated their DJs, all you have to do is subscribe to the journal threads of those you wish to keep up with.

We could use a listing somewhere of what BB tags are active. I would have never guessed "[nobbc]" for "[noparse]".

You know what would be cool? And I know this was a hack but, it would be cool if the spoiler was altered so it becomes a rollover, instead of a 'click to reveal'.

Check this out:

http://forums.gamewinners.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6978018#post6978018

If you scroll down to the bottom of that post (that's mine, by the way) there is a black bar across some of the text. A long time ago some one at that forum modded the spoilers to display like that instead of in a separate box that you have to click on to reveal. I like the roll over spoiler much better. (Sorry, I couldn't find any shorter post examples of what I'm talking about)

On a side note: That post I linked to - as well as the 4 before it in that thread - includes many examples of how to make proper use of 'link' and 'anchor' tags, if any one ever wondered what they are for.
Life is wonderful

For some reason, SMF does not include native link and anchor tags.  They are indeed useful.

Here are the BBCode tags that are available.  Doing anything else for SMF is custom - certainly doable, but not so easy as throwing a switch:

abbr
acronym
anchor
b
black
blue
br
code
center
color
email
ftp
font
green
glow
hr
html
img
i
iurl
li
list
left
ltr
me
move
nobbc
pre
php
quote
right
red
rtl
s
size
sub
sup
shadow
time
tt
table
tr
td
url
u
white
spoiler

Just a note, I don't think it is hard to do that kind of spoiler with CSS alone. Though I could be wrong.

When through the pines the lone wolf shinned
Lycanthrope eyes watched that day

A feature that I would appreciate would be the ability to sort and/or filter my unread posts based on what forum they are from. Inevitably, 4 out of 5 of the unread posts are from dream journals, and I don't always feel like reading those. In fact, I usually don't.

I'd like the ability to subscribe to a forum, so that I will receive notification of every new post made, and not just on new topics. ( Now I have to subscribe to each thread separately ).

Thanks!
