how do you find your own posts?

[Tinkershell]

I should probably know how to do this by now... but how do you find your own posts? I have been finding them by doing a search by the topic, but sometimes I forget what my question was that I asked! Is there any other way besides just searching for the specific question?

If you go to User CP (on the menu bar), you can go to the threads that you have replied to within a certain time period (not sure what that time period is, though).

it doesn't work I have tried it.

After going to User CP, you can click on "view all subscribed threads" to see the list of every thread you've subscribed to.

Either that or go to "Quick Links" and at the bottom is "Subscribed Threads" it will take you to all threads that you have posted on or subscribed to without posting

I have been wondering this same thing, I used to go to my screen name on a post and click it, then find all posts by this user, but that doesn't work anymore.

The Quick Links route doesn't show all threads you post on,just the ones you've subscribed to.

I don't subscribe to every thread I post on and I never see a lot of responses to my posts because of this.

But when you post to a thread you are automatically subscribed to that thread. Everytime that I post to that thread or someone else posts, I get an e-mail notification also.

I believe that the posting to subscribe thing must be a setting of some sort, as it doesn't do that for me, and apparently other people. You used to be able to search for a particular persons name (ie your own) then see all threads that person had posted on. However, as of late, that hasn't worked either.

Posting to subscribe doesn't work for me either. The only threads on my subscription list are the ones I have gone to the top, thread tools and clicked on subscribe.

OK, to get every thread that you post on on your subscription list do this.

Go to User CP
Click on Edit Options
page down to Messaging & Notifications
there is a section here titled Default Thread Subscription Modifications with an arrow down menu, mine was marked 'do not subscribe', so I was not subscribed to every thread I posted on. With the arrow down menu choose your subscription preference, whether you want email notifications etc., and this will be applied to every thread you post on.

AHHHH very nice. Excellent infact.


Still, that doesn't help to find post made prior to that setting change.

You are right, I wish I had known about this setting earlier.

Thank you for all of your help! After reading everyone's advice, I did find my posts under "View all subscribed threads". this seems like an easy way to find them for me! Thanks again!
