Advanced search suggestion. Post with photos.

That’s a good suggestion, Marty. I don’t have the means to do this, so I’ll bring this to the attention of the Hoopla Tech Support staff. They would have to add the code for this...if it’s possible to do.

I figure all a member has to do is select the filter and their own name a the person who posted and this could expedite some house cleaning. 

Rich

Any update on this?  Would be helpful to find any non compliant images.

Nothing yet, Marty.

Hi Rich

Did this get any traction?

Evidently not. The feature isn't there in the Advanced Search.

A search that could bring out all jpg, gif, mp4, mov, , etc for one member would continue to be a useful tool even after junk removal was complete.

I've tried file type searches by member to recover some lost photos, but it never worked; the algorithm focus is the text body.

I agree, but I cannot make this change. It's up to the folks at Crowdstack to do this, and evidently there isn't enough interest there to add this feature.

Based on Alan's post in this thread, this certainly would be a useful feature.  Can't imagine this wouldn't be beneficial across all of Crowdstack's forums.  I know Rich has already looked into this but I wonder if it's worth another inquiry to the Crowdstack folks.  Along with Alan's post, sometimes I'd just like to find a picture I posted.

Just another inquiry.  Sooner than later Rich is going to tell me to "Get lost your bothering me boy".  I keep seeing folks fall victim to the copyright TOS and I would personally like to avoid it but there is only so much I can find especially since I've been here so long.  I suspect before this became an issue we've all probably violated it but  would like to make sure we can stay. 

I would like to keep out of the copyright one and done club.  A feature like this will at least give me a fighting chance.

FWIW, I've seen other forum's administrators blatantly violate it even though it's in their TOS and wonder how long they get away with it.  I guess they go after the big dogs first instead of the Chihuahuas.

Never gonna happen, Marty. I would never tell you to get lost.

I never heard anything about this from Crowdstack...from three years ago!

I like this idea as well.  I know with the push to remove any possible copyrighted graphics (which I fully understand), this would make it possible in a reasonable period of time.

I'm sure somewhere in my posts there lurks some suspect graphics, I spend several hours looking at posts and removed a couple possible issues, but it would take me ages to go through all my back posts!

We really just need a way to list all the graphics we've posted to review what's there.

Maybe time to knock in the door again?

Agreed that the ability to search for posts and replies with pictures would be a great feature.

If building the functionality to search for specific file types would be considered more effort than desirable, even just the ability to search for posts and replies with attachments would be very helpful.

I sent CrowdStack email.  John I agree as also have no problem with the seek and destroy request to remove any problem images but it would be helpful to have some tools to make sure we are in compliance to the best of our ability.  I would just be happy if they, CrowdStack, would just give us or Rich a yea, nay, or we're seeing if it's possible.

Truthfully, I see no practical way I could go through all my posts for all these years looking for images without some sort of feature to isolate graphics or at least attachments.  I took a sample month and counted the number of posts I had, it was 250.  If that is representative of a typical month, I'd have 36,000 posts to review!  I can't even imagine how long that would take!

According to CrowdStack there is no way of doing searches for images in your profile. That being said I have no way of knowing if I got any or all images with an issue. I guess every now and then I’ll do some searching.

Apparently admins have a way.  

Unless I suddenly become an Admin, I guess what's there will have to stay for now.
