I want to make a scrap book/photo album (yes, on paper, I’m oldfashioned that way) and I wanted to include a print-out with the thread titles I posted over the last ten years. I figured they paint just as well a picture of my life the last ten years as would the more traditional holiday pictures.
I’ve experimented for a while with calling up “user CP” and copying and pasting in Word or Excel, but it becomes a big mess every time.
Well, if you just want a list, not a database, you could just take a screenshot and paste it in Paint. Trim the extraneous bits - header, sidebars, etc. Viola - a list. Sure, it’s an image file, but it’s a list.
If you wish to extract data, then you will need someone with better insight. I would think there’s a way to export data from the SD servers as some sort of delineated list, but it’s outside my skillset. Maybe xash would have an idea.
Go to Advanced Search, Search by User Name, enter your User Name and select Find Threads Started by User.
It will display a list of every thread you’ve started, complete with title; date, time and respondent of the last post; number of replies and views; and the forum.
Granted, you’ll have to print each page of search results (11 pages in your case).
So… I was quietly celebrating my ten-year anniversary as a Doper all by myself, and then you guys show up in a bunch, handing out advice in varying degrees of usefullness, bitching about interpunction, offering virtual pie (or at least, the suggestion of virtual pie) and then snatching it away again.
Sniff… I couldn’t have wished for a more typical or better Doper anniversary. You guys are the best!
