How about Cue? I am sure people would like to search to find out what's going on with his belly or mental disorders

Poo?

[Smulkin]

poo is a good one

cue > poo (the poll proves that!)

(there's always the "find all posts by _____")

Is there some way to link to members' names in the advanced search? For example, I was looking for some posts by Becky on internal parasites, and I mis-spelled her name, so I had to go to the member's list and copy it and try again.

Same thing one time looking for a post I remembered by Adam - I forgot to put the _ and for the life of me couldn't remember exactly how his user name displayed (I do now! LOL).

Just a thought!

You can go to the member profile and chose the "find all posts by .. " or "Find all threads started by" option to get a list of those - but I don't think that is what you meant.

If you meant was there some selectable field (like a drop down box) you could choose form the advanced search page which could be selected so that the search could be narrowed down, unfortunately no. There is the text field you can plug the users name into, but as you stated that is prone to misspellings.

Sometime down the line I could look into options of recoding/modding which would allow this, but the downside there is the dropdown list would be 2600 names long and I am skeptical whether that could be pulled off without a serious performance hit - even if it only affected you on the client side.

sorry
