    The reprieve was nice while it lasted....

    They've obviously noticed that their threads are getting blitzed quickly - they've started formatting their threads differently - including spaces etc to prevent searching for 119.me. They think a script is killing them... :wink:

    They've also tried posting at different times - that's not worked either :)

    I didn't even know that you were on, until you posted here; so I had already PM Nova.

    Slightly off-topic, but is there any way to get to an author's posts like that, through the menu system? At the moment, I just come back to this thread and c&p/edit one of the existing links.

    Logically, I would have thought you could get to it via the user's profile, but I can't see anything that leads there.

    Its through the search link, then choose author in the drop down list. Type in author name (I have found it doesn't work if copying and pasting)

    Ah OK. Though it does rather raise the question of why you can't get to the user's posts from their profile 0 that's such an obvious/normal BB feature, that I'm amazed it isn't available here - I don't think I've used another forum in the last 10 years where you can't do that

    Use to be able to link to a members posts via the forums, the link was where it said Posts under the member name. Members were able to disable the link though and make it available to only friends.

    Can't see the point of being able to disable that, if you can reach the same point through another, less convenient, path.

    I suppose it's a deterrent to casual stalkers, but seems a pretty weak barrier

    We gained some features but lost a few as well with the October 2014 forum software update. I just always assumed removing that feature was unintentional, but based on you guys' comments it may or may not have been

    On iPhone I use text replacements, which help me type most of the link, just not the username. Is there an equivalent feature on your device? If you're on a computer I might save it in a file or create a bookmark, just so whenever you start to type in the URL it pops up the full link and you could copy it from there

    Its because the front end is a completely different software than the forums. That feature used to exist on the old system and i miss it. The mods do have that capability through our dashboard though.
