Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
Maria, You don't get just the posts, that's true. You get everything the member did. (I assume your apostrophe in "member's" was correctly placed, and you were referring to an individual member's activity log, not the overall activity log for all members.) I just don't see any problem here. Mark will add the functionality that Yahoo has to see all posts by a given member, and we'll be done. J

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
When Mark fixes the "search by poster" or "see more messages from xyz" bug, everyone will have access to everyone else's messages, as they do in Yahoo. I would be against giving members access to their own activity history.? J

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
Unless I am not seeing it... it doesn't look like you can click through to the member's post even from the activity log that shows all the member's posts. ? Maria

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
Maria, But also members will want to be able to search for their own posts so
they can keep tabs on threads etc or pull up their own posts.
...
Maybe something to chime in about over @beta Interesting idea. Perhaps the Activity History tab, currently available to moderators through each subscriber's page in the Members list, could be available to the member him/herself through their Subscription page. That would give more than the history of posts, and for that reason could be useful to the member even if a proper search-by-subscriber were available. I do like that as group owners in Y! we can search by author and that
when you are viewing a post on the web it suggests other posts by this
member. On the To-do list. Shal

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
Moderators can find all posts by a member right now, by looking in the member's activity log. It of course will be more convenient (and also available to all group members) when the search by author bug is fixed. Bug the information is available to mods now.

Re: how to set up or create a new group

Hi.
First time going to create a group. Using jaws 17, and windows 10 64 bit, going to have two co-admins. I will be the owner. So how to then create a new group, then put in the name, and a description.
Then how to add other people as co-admins or co-owners.
First time doing that, then how to then send a message to everyone.
Thanks.

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
J, LOL. Of course you do realize, Shal, that your email address was coyly
hiding behind a fig leaf there. ;) Indeed I knew it would be. It's part of that irony. As I've said before about the fig-leaf, it probably wouldn't take anyone very many tries to guess what's hidden. Fortunately in this case one needn't go to the effort: knowing the full email address isn't necessary to convey the "how to" instruction. I've seen stronger masking techniques, such as showing only the first two and last two characters of the email user name. With only "sh...nd@" to work with the guessing would be more difficult. The downside is that the more the site masks the more likely it is for two subscribers to end up with the same masked name. Shal

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
Maria, Is there an easy way to find in the archive any posts you or others have
written? Mark mentioned a method in beta@, but it isn't documented anywhere else that I know of. /g/beta/message/7668It turns out that the search box has tricks we don't know of, including an ability to search for specific kinds of things using keywords. So for this purpose the keyword is "poster:" followed by the person's email address. Which, somewhat ironically given recent threads in beta@, requires one to know that person's email address. So to find my messages try poster:shals2nd@... Oddly, this trick only works in the search box in Messages view (or Expanded Messages View), not Threads View. That's another one of those search idiosyncrasies I'd like to see fixed. Shal

Msrk has already stated in beta that this is a bug and will be hard to fix.

Put your name in the heading such as From Maria: and see if this allows a search of what you have posted that way. Since you group is apparently not public, you cannot use Google to search the contents of messages on your group. Seeking only comes up once in a search of that word on your list and I suspect that word has been used many more times in the posts of your group.
I hope that this helps.

Re: Is there a way to find all the posts you or others have written?
There's not a simple way that I'm aware of. If you're an owner/moderator with access to the Member list, you can go to the member name, then Activity History, and search for Accepted Message. A kluge at best, but works for now.
If you and/or the other person always sign the same way, you could search for that in Message View, but it would also show any quotes that contained it. (Search won't find them in Thread View unless it's in the title.) I think Mark has plans to add a search by poster.

This has been VERY high on my personal wishlist for a long time. It's a glaring hole, especially with respect to Yahoo.
