When I usually come to the forum, its usually to read the responses to my post. To do that I do a search by username and it gives me a result set of all my posts. Since the search uses POST method, I cannot bookmark the results. Although the following link works:
https://forums.gentoo.org/search.php?mode=results&search_author=stalione&show_results=topics it does not give the output in the format i want (topics), rather it gives the output as posts..which is a bit hard to navigate. Does anyone one know what I can modify in the url string to get the results exactly as the results from search by username? If I confuse you let me know.... |

This is not possible without modifying phpBB. It expects show_results to be coming in as a POST variable, and won't recognize it coming through GET. Sorry.

Try this (or some variation) in a local html file (e.g. your homepage file of quick links):
| Code: | <form action="http://forums.gentoo.org/search.php?mode=results" method="POST">
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit"
name="search_author"
value="stalione" />
<input type="hidden"
name="show_results"
value="topics" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

FYI, someday, eventually, maybe, it will return to normal.

I was wondering if it's possible to put that link in every page. I'm lazy as hell and would like to save one click everytime I want to go to that page  If I don't reply to a post, I just mouse-gesture a page back, but when I do reply it is more moves again So... Pretty please?

Actually, its "month", and England is included as well. Especially those using nicks like Matje or port001 in this thread.
nitro is in charge of that stuff since he maintains it, but he's been away for a bit. Someone might try sending an email to him and reference this thread (email can be found at the bottom of the pages).
How much of a pain it would be to maintain will likely be the deciding factor.

Thx a lot
It isn't much more a pain to maintain as the rest of the layout I think. Since it is "only" a link to search.php?id=egosearch
Nothing fancy I ask
