Idea: New search option

Hi Mods / Admins,

How about a search option to allow a user to find threads that they have contributed to (e.g. "Find threads I have contributed to")?

It could save time scanning pages of unrelated threads, and would allow a contributor to see the final outcome of the related threads.

Just a thought - I figured it might be useful.

Can't you already manage that through thread subscriptions?

Oops - probably - I'll look at that

Thanks

This already exists in the Advanced Search options, a standard feature of almost all modern forum software:
