Search by username is broken
June 6, 2025 at

Searching by username ("Posts by" option selected) was turning up no results for the past few months I assume since the redesign, and now only shows threads started by me.
This was how I followed up on threads I replied in.
Can this be fixed?

I'm using the "posts by" option with my username on the search page (https://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?) to get there.
This link used to pull up all threads in which I've replied.
Then for the past few months (possibly linked to redesign), it started not pulling up anything.
In the past week or two, it started pulling up only the threads I've started (equivalent to the "threads by" search option).

Still hoping search function by username is eventually fixed, as I enjoyed the convenience of sorting by latest post and seeing the threads which have new replies in bold font.

Edit: Actually, I looked at the thread subscription options and mine is set to automatically subscribe to a thread whenever I reply to one. There is also an option of "do not subscribe" which obviously wouldn't show you all of the threads you want if yours is set that way. It seems to work pretty well for mine to track new replies to all the threads I'm following though.
