...get my posts from my members page?

[Vort]

Sometimes I want to check up on threads I've contributed to. The easiest way to do this is to list out my posts, then find the thread. However, in order to do this, I have to first find a post I've made, so that I can click on that link and select "Get all posts from this person" (or whatever it is). That means I have to go hunting around for a thread I've contributed to -- which largely defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do!

Since I can get to my own members page any time, surely there must be a way to get a list of my contributions from that page, or some other obvious and convenient way that doesn't involve hunting through multiple threads on multiple forums until I discover one I've already contributed to -- or respond to an existing thread just so I get a convenient link to use.

Have you tried advanced search?

Hey, that works. Thanks, Pam.

Now can you tell me why I only get 399 responses to my query when (as of this post) I have 1153 total posts?

Perhaps it's only counting the number of threads..not the number of posts on that query.

The board turnicates search results to prevent the board from swallowing its own tail. Though I thought the number was 500. Are you limiting your search by forum or date? When I search you and want results by thread I only get 420 but it does the full 500 when returning results as individual posts. Maybe you've limited your 1,100+ posts to 420 threads?

That's what it's doing. It's showing you the threads that you have posted on..not each individual post. So all your posts have been on 410 different threads.
