adaliabooks: I tried to include this ability in my script, but unfortunately I still can't see a way to search within the threads on a forum (without crashing your browser anyway) to find posts by a user.
rtcvb32: Well... There is an easier way. If we had a script that downloaded the entire forums as an external archive, then search that (
Using grep most likely)... Or it would be easier to feed that through a filter to then feed to a local SQL database which then can tie everything together using a SQL query... Either way as you say it's going to be more than the job for a simple browser.
Yeah, that was pretty much the conclusion that I came to, download and store the forum (updated regularly like MaGoG does) and then perform the searches on that.
But that seems like a hell of a lot of effort (and space, I know there are probably ways to compress it but I worked out that some of the larger threads alone would take GBs of memory to store...) when GoG could just fix there own search and basically do the same thing with their actual database.
