Hi again,
Remember that old saying by Hanibal Lechter: "There's more than one way to skin a ...."
Well, perhaps there is another way to group all the attachments together no matter when they were posted. For this trick to work all the attachments must be posted or moved to one forum. Information Resources will do.
Now when you post your attachment, remember to go to Rate This Thread and select the number 5 which we all agree to rate posts with attachments.
Now, go and double click Information Resources from the main menu and a list of all the forum threads will appear with the recent threads on page 1 and the others hidden on page 2 etc.
Notice that there are column headers which if clicked will sort the column by ascending or descending order. So thats great if you want to sort post titles or names alphabetically. Now all the posts with attachments will have the number 5 in the Rating column. Click the header and sort. Bingo! All posts with the number 5 will appear grouped together. Now you can download the attachments one after the other. Do I get into the Forum Hall of Fame for this idea?
To make this more obvious, if Sim changed the Rating function wording from Rate this Thread to Rate this Attachment and set only two options 1) default (Select a rating); & 2) 5 then 5 is the option selected when an attachment is made.
Anyway, that idea suffers from the fact that people may forget to do that but I'm sure Sim can come up with a way along those lines. Threads with attachments must be differentiated in some way to enable them to be grouped in a sorting process.
Regards, Mike
