Hi Steven, I need a solution that doesn't involve search.php because that produces a search id which is not suitable to include in a link because the database only stores search ids temporarily. I need a URL that will find a member's threads in a specific forum when a user clicks a link.

Can any action be done on postusername apart from sort? Can postusername be limited by username? If I type Mike in a text field and click Go, only Mike's threads are displayed and the URL shows something like:
/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=4&page=1&pp=20&sort=postuser name&order=desc&userprune=Mike

I need a prune function like daysprune but called userprune which just shows threads of a user specified in a text field entry.

Update: I found an article on vBulletin.com that explains how to do a search with a url so I've decided to do that. Not exactly what I wanted (to display the results within the forum) but at least I can make a link which will search for the results. I insert something like this into the users custom title field so that it appears in their postbit.
