How do I search for a specific person or user in this forum?

I have the email address for the account I'm looking for but I don't remember the username. How do I search by email?

[mole0815]

Are you looking for a specific person or for posts written by a specific person?
You can use the forum's search function or, for example, https://bitlist.co/search
Before we can help you, please provide us with more details.

How do I search for a specific person or user in this forum?

You can use this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sa=search
You could also search through forum search as mole suggested: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=search
Ninjastic now known as bitlist you could also use that: https://bitlist.co/
Lastly you can use *Ace*'s tool: https://brdbscoreapi.ace-d89.workers.dev/leaderboard-page (afaik, you won't find every user here but the active ones, because it's still collecting data)
I almost forgot about this one: https://bpip.org/ (but the site is temporary down/having issues - just cheked it's working now)

You will see members beside your profile, also the place where logout is if you scroll up, click on the members, you will see search for members beside view all members. Search the member that you are looking for.

This forum search for members is very accurate.

Was very accurate. Don't forget about TalkSearch.io! It's a bitlist.co supremacy thread in here, I see.

You can also use the wayback machine, archive.is, or Loyce.club but like another member above said, we would need more info/specifics as to what you are trying to find.

I'm not sure bitlist can scrape data on email addresses especially since most accounts have their emails set as private obviously because it's defaultly that way. I think your best bet is to use the member search here at the top left menu area just before More and logout .

Also one thing I'm not too sure about is if newbie accounts can actually use it to the fullest. The others like bitlist and BPIP are more applicable if you know the username.

stop repeating your question.

send them an email and ask them.

you do not have full access to member emails.

a member does not have to disclose their email on their profile page.

I do not see your email it is hidden so I think you are asking for the impossible.

I think I initially misunderstood OP. Is he attempting some sort of account recovery? Kinda confused. Phil makes a good point, he could just send an email since he knows the email and ask for the persons username so he can find what he's looking for? Or maybe he has the email but forgot the username so hes trying to find it in order to send a proper message to staff to start some sort of acc recovery process?

I dunno.

[TryNinja]

I think it's pretty clear what OP wants. He created an account with his email, but forgot the username. He wants to "recover" the username with his email.

The actual answer to his question is: That's not possible, unless he made the email public on his profile and somehow someone finds it (i.e google indexed it).

You guessed it exactly right, sir. That's exactly what I wanted. But you replied that it wasn't possible. That was very disappointing.

When trying to search a name of a user here in the forum most of us are using the

Code:

bitlist.co
bpip.org

I dont think so ideal to seek for their email because most of the user here hidden their email registered at the forum or if you get lucky enough is thei have other contacts or rather try to direct DM them in the forum with the message button.

Or you have your email address but you forgot your account name? I guess staffs are the one you can reach out with that concern

It should be possible if you still have access to the email address you registered that account with. On the login page you can click on the “forgot my password” option and you can enter that email address, which will then allow you to recover the account.

[SuperBitMan]

OP what is it with you creating many account, the other day you were complaining of proxy ban on one of the account you created and today you are hear to complain about you forgetting the username you used in creating another account, I’m sure before forgetting this username you most have created many accounts and because of that you forgot the username of this particular one.
What are you trying to use all this account for, I just don’t trust you it seems you are planning something with all this accounts you are creating my eyes are on you, I hate scam and anything related to it. Be guided.
And again stopped flooding this board with questions like this you can also ask questions like this over here Beginners & Help.

The actual answer to his question is: That's not possible, unless he made the email public on his profile and somehow someone finds it (i.e google indexed it).

If it is actually like he said, he remembered the email used for registration, he is able to use it for recovering his account.

If he clicks on Forget password, he will see this.

So he can type either the account username or the email address into the box. He does not know the username, but he knows the email address which is enough.

You can't retrieve your password, but you can set a new one by following a link sent to you by email. You also have the option of setting a new password by answering your secret question.

Username/Email:

How?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=login
And clicks on Forgot your password?
He will be directed to
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=reminder
with the information shared above.

or he can directly visit the page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=reminder

Is the email active and can you still access it? 
If you can access that email, there should still be a chance to recover your account. 
But if you only remember the email address you used to register, but no longer have access to that email, of course you cannot recover your account. 
Try opening your email, checking the messages, there might be something related to your account activity.

Pretty simple then, just use the 'forget password' button as the above user already preferred. You will see the input option, either password or username.



Unless someone keeps their email public, you can't find them on the forum. Because most users seem to be hiding their email address for privacy reasons. As far as I know, even a third-party script can't scrap the email as well. So this is the only way; if it's your account, remember you can't find other users by email or by resetting the password.

Important; don't use recover account by answering questions, account would be locked.

Btw, you can lock 🔒 your thread from lower left since you got the answer to avoid unnecessary discussion.

You should use Bit List if you remember any words and sentences he posted. Bit List will find posts and see who wrote them. Did you send the guy an email to ask. If you don't know his username try asking him by sending an email. What's special about his posts or name?

Are you sure this actually works? Did you try it before?

I don't receive anything when putting my email on that box.

EDIT: nevermind, I got it. And it has my username on it so it works for OP!

Additional methods I'm thinking of:
If you have an inbox regarding sign up notification, you can take the date then look for the user id who registered on that date by changing the uid url value manually or via bpip, say u=3000001 to u=3000020
