    Hey!

    I'd love a Discussion Filter which showed me the posts I've recently posted to. I'm thinking one of two options:
    1. Lists the last 10 (or whatever) discussions I have posted in.
    2. Lists the discussions I have posted in within the last month (or whatever)

    I think 1 would be preferable to 2. Perhaps there is a way to do this already?

    This type of feature would be useful especially for active communities like Lussomo. I find myself bookmarking discussions temporarily to keep track of answers. Things sink quickly when there are lots of new discussions taking off.

    You can search for comments with your name as the author?

    Yeah that works beautifully, and orders them correctly too (latest come on top).

    But how do I get a link in the Discussion Filters? Perhaps that add-on could be amended with this feature added?

    It could, yeah. but you could also just save the search - then it will appear in the sidebar under saved searches...

    If we're getting technical it'd appear in the sidebar under searches.

    Sorry to cause some confusion. Getting a little tired. I realise the search doesn't quite do it after all. If I search for comments I get a list of my last comments. Rather, I want a list of the discussions in which I recently posted comments. That is, I want one entry per discussion.

    If I do mini's search I get a list of several comments from the same discussions. Also, I want to see who last posted - again, this means a list of discussions rather than comments. Hope this made sense!

    @mark: didn't think of saved searches, thx.

    Yeah I considered that but i was rather hoping you might not notice as initially you didnt. I believe (and i'm sure mark will correct me otherwise) that what you'd like to do in an ideal world would require a rather complex query - that said I'm not too highly versed in the wonders of mysql and therefore it might not be that difficult at all.

    hahahahaha


    No, this can be done easily enough - complex query or not. I just didn't bother for version 1 of that extension. Maybe in version 2.

    Oh i know it could be done, i meant quickly. I'm very much on the quick-easy-short-term-fix path tonight.

    Let's hope one day that "Maybe" becomes a "definately"! ;-)

    btw. just installed pre1v3: a stellar product, works beautifully!
