How come you can't find questions people have answered on Fluther?

Asked by TennesseeTeacake (337points) March 24th, 2008

how come you can view a person profile and see questions a person has asked, but you can’t see questions they have answered?

Hehe, sometimes I wish I could do this so I could pinpoint where the heck I got points.

There is a secret way, but it’s not perfect.

You can find your own answers by looking at the “Activity You’re Following” list since any topic you answer goes in there too. Unless/until you stop following it.

Zaku's avatar

Oh, actually, you can just use the search, if they have a unique name and you don’t mind also getting topics where people are talking about them.

squirbel's avatar

Yeah um…I’m following like 400+

and search doesnt seem to be working for me. i tested my own name and nada.

Zaku's avatar

Maybe search has a length limit.

TennesseeTeacake's avatar

boo. i asked andrew when i went into the fluther chat. he said “we havent added that yet” so… maybe that means the ability to do this is coming?? i hope.

Zaku's avatar

Sounds like it is on their list.

Testing, it looks like search does work except with names longer than a certain number of characters.

@MrKnowItAll: can you tell us how to do this special trick?
@Zaku: i tried search with your name and it brings up convos that you were talked about in, but not necessarily questions that you answered

MrKnowItAll's avatar

The secret is the search function. I guess everyone has varying degrees of success with it.

TennesseeTeacake's avatar

oh dang it. i guess my degree of success is a big, fat zero.

Zaku's avatar

You could try using google for your name + fluther. That seems to work pretty well, though it may take a while to spider.

TennesseeTeacake's avatar

why did i pick such a long name? now its going to take forever just to test it.

This might be a coincidence but on first sight a search on by:vincentt looked like a list of questions I answered recently (though really new questions might not have been indexed yet).
