Is there any mechanism to have a search return all posts/threads by a specific person? I'd very much like to print out all of my posts for a magickal archive/diary project...

Thanks.

Nope. Not included due to worries about stalking-type behaviour, iirc.

If you're name is in the topic heading (for example: Sax is a twat, isn't he? or abstract you probably can, but that's probably not much help.

So when you find a veryvery interesting post by someone, you can't look up that persons other posts?? mumblegrumble. Or even look up your own posts which you remember had something relevant to do with some thread and you can't be bothered to write it all up? Well, I guess in that case I could use the search function, actually.

But if someone is crazy enough to stalk someone he'd just use a spider, right? Also, it's a bit of programming, but shouldn't it be a choice? So stalk-worriers could just flip a switch in their profiles?

I think it's partly the stalking but also partly a question of philosophy - that, simply put, Barbelith isn't meant to be too easy, so you have to read it more carefully rather than using labour-saving devices. Although I could be totally wrong about that.

As it is, the Barbelith we have is pretty much the Barbelith we are going to have for a while, with no major changes in functionality; it's a proprietary system, so we don't have a lot of hacking leeway...
