is there any feature where you just write a username on search bar and all topic written by that user pops up in a forum?

It's not one step or narrowly focussed, but try this.


If I search All for heycookie, the results are topics in which you have posted, not necessarily started by you. If I search Members for heycookie, the result is your profile.


Then I can view your posts (if you permit) - 8 pages of current topics and 225 pages of all topics - and ignore topics for which the author isn't you.

Hi Vijay, something needs to be done to stop members from assuming a male member is a female. Something should be under our username to indicate whether the member is a male or female. Something that makes it clearer. M or F

Or "O" for the third Gender option that India Forums offers: Other.


Stories and poems for International Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31) will be featured in the Fan Fiction section whenever "the rest of the month of April" begins.

I second this. This would be a great initiative to start in parallel with the ITDoV Ownyourstories that’s ongoing. Perhaps we can have a ‘preferred pronouns’ in the profile settings that can be displayed much like the ‘country’ option.

Yes, instead of showing joined and last visited dates, we could have our pronouns and/or nickname there, so hovering on the UN could show us the details.

Easily viewing when someone last visited helps me to decide which ten people to tag.


Checking when someone joined guides me how to respond to a "how-to" question or a spam post.


I don't think it helps me to see anyone's numbers of posts/comments, but there's space to the left of these four details where pronouns could be displayed.


Misgendering of me doesn't bother me, and if I need to use a pronoun for someone, I check the profile.

I don’t know much about Pronouns as it’s a new development and people gets easily offended.


I can have Gender option shown like: Male / Female

That would exclude Enbys and trans people, and other gender non-conforming groups.

I think to be fully inclusive to every group, we can give people the option to choose their pronouns. It will seem progressive. No harm done to anyone - even if they are male/female (binary) genders, and this way, it gives members the freedom to display their choice. It could happen that even if someone identifies as male, they may prefer to be addressed as they/them. Just my opinion.

I don't think all members visit profiles and hoover on UN's to check a members details. I'd like it placed under our UN.
