Are we allowed to change our names or de-register and come back as a new identity? I seem to remember someone saying this is no longer allowed but I'm not 100% sure.
mary patricia is correct: we no longer allow users to de-register to then re-register with a new name and we have been unable to provide name changes for a few years now due to technical restrictions.
I'm not being a smart arse here, I genuinely don't understand the question. If you want to exculde words in a search couldn't you just not type them?
I don't get it
I feel really thick. What am I missing?
It's not excluding the word, it's excluding any post that has the word in it.
EG.
Say I want to find posts about RPG games.So I search for any post with the phrase "rpg" in it. However, I find loads of posts from this search result that also have , for eg, "fallout" in them. I dont want to trawl through them, as I have the game already, so I want to omit any search results on 'RPG' that also have 'fallout' in them.
Or in Toms example, that would give all posts that have "Aiden" in them, except any that also have "Grimshaw".
When you're in the thread list pages, you can click on the Replies column to see a list of "Who Posted?" in a thread, ranked by number of posts. But is there a way of finding out once you've opened up the thread? - specifically I'm thinking if you've arrived at the thread via a search. You could of course hunt the thread down on the thread list, but this could take a few minutes and could be an extra hassle if it's a thread from over a year ago and you're set up to only view the last month or something. There ought to be an easier way, but I don't think there is. Could it not be added as an option under "Thread tools?"

You could bump the thread, bring it to the top of the index, then click on the number...

You could do it this way...
Each thread has an ID in the URL. I think it's a 8 digit number.

Click on the name of the thread starter, view 'all threads by', then click on the number from there.

When I am at work I am unable to start new threads in any forum. The button at the top is not there for me. Does anyone know why and is there another way I can start a new thread?

Best bet is to contact DS & see if they can advise you.

Do people on your 'ignore' list know they are on it?
I doubt it. If you put someone on ignore it just collapses their posts. However if someone quotes them, you can see it. I'm gonna put you on ignore now to see if it makes any difference to you.

It's quite a pity really, I can't stand my username.

Well you could, but there might be reasons why you think the thread is better left buried, or something like that. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Each thread has an ID in the URL. I think it's a 8 digit number.
The URL of 'Who Posted in this thread' is:
Replace the 8 digit number in the link above (1429375) with the ID of the thread you want to see who has posted in.
Click on the name of the thread starter, view 'all threads by', then click on the number from there.
Thanks anyway. Useful if you were searching for individual posts.
Or, when performing a search, search for threads rather than individual posts.
Well I'm glad my stupid hat was of some use!
Maybe your work's system has DS 'blocked'.

No. If they tried to send you a PM they would get a message saying you have the PM function disabled. Other than that they wouldn't know.
Also I was wondering suppose you ignore someone, and then they quote one of your posts in one of theirs ... how will you ever know?
