I'd love to have a search function for Member Pages.

[ChooksChick]

I saw someone was looking for some member's page that she'd seen in the past and she posted in the forum looking for help from anyone who might remember seeing it.

I thought I'd be interested in the item as well and searched for it- but the search doesn't seem to include member pages.

I'd like to look for things that are posted in member pages, too, and think not only would the search function be very helpful, but having a link to 'Browse Member Pages' with a random order would be fun. You could just hit 'Next' to go to the next one at random!

Some of us have a link to a page or two in our signature, but unless someone happens upon our sig, they may be unable to find pertinent info.

Cheers for all you do, and thanks again for all of you involved- this community is just magnificent.

Great idea... and even better: I think I know of a quick and easy way to do that!

I'll be back in a minute with either a solution or a sad face.

TADA!!!

At the top of the Member Pages Index list you'll see a new search bar that ONLY searches member pages. Please give it a try and let me know how it works.

Regarding a random pages / "browse next" feature.... that's a bit more tricky. Until we add something like that just go to the Member Pages Index and click around. Maybe opening the top 10 pages of "last modified" or "custom pages".

Wow, that's great! I did a search for my own page and found it with the first try (keyword: "combs").

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

BTW, I just realized I should have my programmer set the title of these pages to something like: "Username - Page Title"

Added to the HUGE BYC todo list.
