I was wondering about changing tracking options a bit...
Since Snitz is not threaded system it is a bit more tricky however, when we search posts of someone, how hard it would be to make a link to actual reply on that topic?
If anyone tried something like that before, please let me know. <

I think someone has done this before as I remember this discussion coming up a few months ago... have you searched the archives yet?<

Not really hard. You'd just need to change the code to point to topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=topic_ID#reply_Id. Right now reply id is not retrieved.<

In that case you'll have to calculate on which page the reply is located... I'd link to
Code:
topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=topic_id&whichpage=-1&REPLY_ID=reply_id

That's right ofcourse.
I searched archieves but I could not find exactly what I wanted. But I want to make sure first, let me tell what's in my mind...
This is not in profile page ofcourse.. This is like a search page for members, but can list all of his/her messages without grouping by topic / category. Not sure if I can do it by search page.
For example, I searched for "SiSL" user, if it was a topic, it would be topic name display, if reply, can add "RE:" to topicname.. But results would be like this, if reply, reply link with (whichpage=-1) or if topic, direct link, that way you can make a admin / mod tracker as well...
Which I'm asking if any kind of that things ever made before? If so, can you find me link, because I can't seem to find correct keywordsdissapprove

PS: Was wondering if that can be "searched in topics and replies if a "REPLY_ID" coloumn is added as default value "0" to FORUM_TOPICS table and made UNION in Search page. If that can be done, also "Search in Topic" function would be activated that way too.<

the reason it is not done this way currently is to reduce the number of search results, why return 5 results from one topic when you only need to return one, you are just increasing the workload of the forum.<

It is not actually for "search", it is about a project in my mind like "tracker" in Lithium boards, pointing exact location of posts that someone has made, rather than pointing first page of a 66 pages thread.<
