Is there a way to view the threads started by a poster?

On most of the forums I frequent if you view the profile of a member you have the option to view that members posts or view the threads they've started. As near as I can tell that option doesn't exist in this forum's software. If there a workaround to this? Right now I've just been going to a specific forum and resorting threads by username and then scrolling to the member I'm looking for.

That only shows the posts. I want a list of threads started by someone, like this:

Wow funny thing Spoon. I just spent the last 30mins or so reading trough some of your threads at Spyderco Forums using the way your are describing. I don't think I have ever seen this option available on MT.O.

By the way I enjoyed your left handed Military review and your on going Stretch review. Your knife in hands thread was cool too and a good pictorial source.

Hey, thanks! Good to know someone is getting some use out of my posts.  :)

I like the option to view by thread because it makes finding things a lot easier than search in certain cases. I also do what you did, find a poster I like to read and go back and read all their threads.

I'm with you on this. I do it on a few forums I go to. Allot of times I never find what I'm looking for with search. I know that CPF forums have this option. Maybe it is something that can turned on here. :think:
