Hey, that posting history is neat. How did you do that?

In Internet Explorer - > View menu - > Source.

Source opens in whatever your default editor is. It is notepad on my system.

If you've got good eyes and know HTML, you can pick out the portion of the HTML source which is the content that you want. Mark it and copy it. Paste it into a thread.

This works for all posts from various threads as well as someone's posting history. Heck, it works for a lot of stuff that you might want to post on FR. However, be careful with direct and relative links. Always check your links before posting.

To your #32

Now I'm confused, I tried that. I have that option on my menu bar but it didn't do anything.

Me, I just click on the persons name, it brings you to their home page and then click "in forum".

But I'm still curious about your way.
