You know how you can click on the number of posts when you're at the "View Posts" page and get a list of who's posted how many times? As far as I can tell, it's no longer working. After the first dialogue box pops us, and I click on a particular poster's number of posts, the search engine says you have to wait 10 seconds between searches...even though I've waited and waited.

Am I doing something wrong? Or this this cool feature broken?

I've never even seen such a feature. Where is it?

Click on New Posts. Then pick a thread and click on the actual number of Replies. You should get a pop-up that lists who's posted in that thread and how many times they've posted. Then you should be able to click on a particular poster's actual number of posts and pull up all the posts that poster's posted. Hahahahahaha!!

Boy!! I sure hope that makes sense. But it's not working past the pop-up box...at least for me it's not.
 
It doesn't work in the basement. Is this where you're using it or are you using it upstairs?
 
I just logged in using the same permissions as you - it is working fine for me.
Which thread were you attempting?

Tess's critters thread. I'm going to try it again.
 
I tried it again on several threads. It doesn't work for me. What could I be doing wrong? Hmmmm....not that I'm doubting you, Oh Expert of All Things DP, but could you log in as me and see if it still works?

I am doing it right, yes? I get the pop-up box showing Who's Posted. Then I click on the # of Posts that person made -- and it should pull up the list, yes? All it says is I haven't waited ten seconds....

No worries. Try logging out and back in and see if that helps.

Ta DAAAH!!! That did it. Thank you Oh Great and Holy Holder of the DP Grail. ;) You have the patience of a saint, I swear. I'll remember that tactic for future glitches. Kinda' like bangin' on my computer a few times. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't.
