Feature Request: All Posts by User Tagged Soandso

May 28, 2006 12:09 PM

Pony: All posts by user suchandsuch tagged soandso? As it is, on a user's posting page, there's a list of frequently-used tags, but if you follow the links, you get all posts so tagged, when what you might expect (and even, in some cases, want) is just that user's posts so tagged.

Where it says:

Users that often use this tag:

clicking on the names listed below that should bring you to their posts with that tag. I don't know if I'd like it linked directly from the user page. Because I can always click on your posting history to see your posts (and the great majority of us I'd assume have fewer than, say, 50 posts to sort through). What might be nice is to include the tags on the posting history page, though (under each post). Then you can find-as-you-type and ctrl-g to your heart's content.

Good call Eideteker, I just added this to both MetaFilter and Ask MeFi. I'll add the links kenko asked for now as well.

And I'll add some code so the header and page title clearly states you are looking at all posts tagged foo by mathowie or something similar (at the moment the query doesn't pick up username and I'll have to do some extra digging to complete it later today).

Alas! This came up when I was looking for a specific y2karl post. Thanks, though, for pointing that out, and thanks to matt for making the links easier to find.

Ok, Matt, but I have a question. How do I get to the master list of posts with that tag? Maybe:

2 posts tagged with games. (View popular tags)

instead of the way it is now.

I realize I can just delete the user number from the URL, but I don't know how user-friendly that is.

Yeah, I'll work on the header Eideteker so that is says All posts about foo (link to tag foo) by username (link to user page).

Thank you. I've wished for this a few times but never thought to mention it.

Ok, I added usernames and tag names as links on the tags-by-user pages
