Clarification, Matt and Shelly. I addressed my message to the other three, thinking that Yoda was one of the Geeks because the word "technically" was used in describing him....and apparently, the "technically" had to do with something else. I was only excluding both of you from my previous post because I thought, and I guess I still do think, that you aren't programmers.

Woof:

"What would make this 'research' so much easier to do, is to be able to click on a poster's name and see a list of the boards he/she has posted on with the posts to each of these boards, instead of clicking.....and clicking.....and clicking."

This has been requested many times. It is about the only feature that RB has that IHub doesn't. RB also has (or at least HAD) an additional option once you were viewing the list of boards (and total posts) that a person posted on - whereby you could click the "Last 30" for the person's posts for any board. It would bring up a list and then you could quickly scan the 30 posts (or previous 30, etc) and find something they said on a specific board pretty easily. Of course, IHub has a "Board Search" which helps the process and, of course, Advanced Search, which is great.

Still, it would be a nice feature!

We'll be gaining that feature in the rewrite of iHub as a .NET application, which has finally started.

Check out any profile on SI. Dave put together an awesome profile routine there, and we'll be using it here, too.

As for whether to address these kinds of things to me, Dave, or John, actually, either me or Matt, preferably me, but either of us can add things to the project queue.

The lay of the land is basically that Matt and I come up with and manage the ideas, and pay attention to user suggestions and see what gold can be found there (a lot), then most of it goes through me to get put into the project queue, assigned, prioritized, etc.

Then John, Dave, and I do the programming. I wrote SI from scratch with Dave's help, and most of the code used here is stuff I've written, but John's about 3 times better than I am, and I've got too many other things happening to do more than a token amount of programming. Dave does mostly Admin programming, but he also does some site programming. Anymore, most of the site programming is John's responsibility. Most of my involvement is just determining what gets done in what order.

We were already planning to emulate Dave's excellent work on SI profiles here, but I'll make sure it gets put in the project queue for Dave to do here, since he's got a knack for that kind of thing.

It'll be a while. We've got a contractor working on the .NET rewrite, and they just started this past Monday. Once they get the framework written, Dave, John, and I will start redoing existing routines in the new framework and adding new stuff.

"so why hasn't something like this feature been implemented?"

I agree!

So, what up wit dat, Yoda and Geek? lol
