Please make forum threads searchable or “sortable” by creator.
I just took the DPL survey and the last two questions got me thinking about the “searchability” and “sortability” of the forum threads. We already have the creator tagged to the thread; why not make it a search option for looking up threads created by a specific author? Or make the forum sections able to sort alphabetically by creator instead of by last post.
Example:  Skip He has started many threads with great suggestions or tips in them. I would like to be able to find every thread he created (more easily than I can now) without any slipping through the cracks. If no one quotes the creator or acknowledges them by name, then typing their name into the current search function will not raise that thread.
Specific example:
 judojoe created this thread:
//dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=565218
But if I were to search for "judojoe", it doesn’t come up because the word "judojoe" is neither in the subject or body of the posts.
What do you think...is this doable?

eta: links and to say that judojoe's thread is the first one I pulled up that didn't have very many responses and fit the criteria to not work with the current search function on our site.

| appearantly this is the worst idea ever and none of the 46 people that have viewed this post would benefit from this addition to the website. |

| I agree. I suggested a while back that on the profile pages where it says "Threads Created" that be made into a link that would display a page with all their threads they started. In addition, it would be helpful to have a link that pulls up the last 10 or so threads you have posted in. |

My profile page has this listed at the bottom...doesn't yours? |
