How do I check on a renter's previous posts?

Hi All, I'm looking to rent, but wondering if there is a way to check on people who PM me? Is there a way to plug in a poster's name to see what their posting history is? Thanks for any info. Patty

The easiest way is to go to one of their posts/PM's, left click on their screen name, and then click on "Find more posts by..."

If that doesn't work, you can also go on Google and type the person's username, followed by Disboards and hit the search button.

This is a great suggestion. Calypso is always able to find stuff I can't find!

You can also just use the DIS search function - it works quite well now. The "DIS dog that didn't hunt" has been retired. FWIW, the DIS search is WAY better than the google search for finding DIS posts.

You can search by user name, limit the time frame and also choose which forums to search. The Search link is just below the link for Private Messages (left side near the top of the forum). Use the Advanced Search option.

By the way, Jim, did you get involved with the search for the boa constrictors in the Everglades? [I'm trying to tie this to the Search Function.]

Not directly. The Park itself is not participating in the great snake hunt. We just kill them whenever we find them (I participated in the untimely demise of 4 last year), but there is no organized eradication effort...or even any interest in one by those who make the decisions.

It's not the right time of the year anyway. They're much easier to find Jan-April when the water levels are low and the weather is colder. They come out to sun and are easy pickings then.
