Post Deleted because it is a Duplicate

  • Thread starter WWGD
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about a user's post being deleted due to being a duplicate and the user asking for the link to the original post. The other user suggests ways to find the original post, including using the search function and checking the user's content. The topic of dynamic SQL-like search is also briefly mentioned, with the second user stating that it would not be secure for a forum to have such a feature.

This one?
You can find it via "Forums -> Watched Threads" or "My PF -> Your content". You can also use the search function, or click on the post counter in one of your posts to search for all your posts.

Thanks. Do you have dynamic sql -like search, or do you disallow it to avoid injection issues?

I'm not aware of any forum that gives you SQL-like search access, it would be a nightmare to make that secure. The search function has various options to refine searches.
