I stumbled on a way to post stalk someone. Hit the magnifying glass, put their user name in the 'author' spot, be sure to check how many days it's searching, mine defaulted to 1, and you get their history. It will bring up their threads and comments.
Now if someone can find an easy way to navigate thru the posts without going back to the list everytime
And now that I'm on the computer, I realize that the magnifying glass isn't there (or not that I can find anyway). It is on my android app tho.

Oh, so close Lin! I think maybe the 'Search' feature on the computer gives the same options for searching. It suggests author name with screen names as you type the letters in that section. It also lets you set the length of time in which to search. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to return any results for your name.
I think you're on to something though; would be nice to have that feature! Thanks for the lead.

That's exactly the screen I got! I tried it on my phone and it worked. On the computer, nothing. Maybe they're having technical difficulties ... makes me feel right at home

My thoughts exactly! I still can't believe there's actually something WW did better...

I tried it previously; I think it searches their forums but not groups. I found stuff I had posted of forums, but nothing from here on GoaD.
In my youth, people used to say "If you find the perfect church, don't join it; it won't be perfect any more." Seems like the same thing is true of weight loss forums; they all look better from the outside, and they all have ever some gaps once you join.
But hey - it's here, and they're not closing it.0 -
Charlie, there's an option in the drop-down to search only in groups. But it doesn't seem to work

Hmmm ... maybe they'll get that fixed eventually

I'm learning on here but I miss some things too,
Like Personal Stats below User Name, setting up the number of past days I want to see displayed, minor points that I'm sure are compensated for by other features LIKE EDIT!!1 -
Jim, the nice thing here is that a post with a comment made to it, it moves to the top of the list without any re-sorting. In fact, I don't think it matters how old the post is either. I'm going to test that theory
I do miss the personal stats below the names too, though.
So I tested my theory and that is correct. If a comment is made, regardless of the age of the post, it moves to the top of the list on page 1.0
