Freesound Forums

Hello I just wanted to know if we could add a user search to peoples page, it would make it easier to find pacific user. I've always had the problem of not finding the user I enjoy getting sounds from and I hate either leaving a tab open with that users page on it or waiting till the next time they come online, post a sound, or post in the forums. I think it would also help people get more downloads on sounds.

If you agree with my request say YEAH.

Putting the user name in the normal search field next to the term I'm looking for accomplished this for me so far. Did you try it?

If you press "Show advanced search options", you will see that the user name is being used for the search normally.

This of course means that a user called "barking" might break the system

No I didn't try it but I still think it simpler because when u type the users name in to feature I'm requesting it should automatically give results of users then u click one and go to there page. If u do it your way it lists other peoples sounds and also other users and shouldn't the search sounds feature be only used for sounds only anyway, since it is a search sound feature. Plus I bet most people don't even type in the users name in the search sound feature. The feature I'm request is simple and easy and there is no confusion.

Or if the search request doesn't work then maybe do something like Facebook have friends or favorite users section that way its a bit more fun and its easier to chat because u will always no when your friend/favorite user is online.
