How do i find my own posts now?

Jumpingmedic · 31 Aug 2007 at 23:43

I'm sorry if this has been covered but it's driving me nuts. How do I view posts I've made? Before the great change it was easy, click on usercp and there it was... that option has now gone. Can someone PLEASE tell me where this essential feature has hidden itself.

Much appreciated

click on your name above the avatar. Then click on find all posts by Jumpingmedic

Thats fine if I'm already viewing a post by myself... but assuming I'm starting from scratch... how am I going to find a post by myself to do that with?

There should be a link in your profile. One will go to your posts. (Also there is another link [hence I said "One" before] which goes to threads created by you).

[Link]

That is the link though.

Appreciate your reply but I don't get it. I don't see any link in my profofile... or perhaps I dont know how to get to my profile. either way the link you gave me is:

vBulletin Message
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

just go to the last thread you posted in.

:/ that's not necessarily easy when you might have posted ten pages ago... regardless.. compared to the old system it is a FAIL.

Search by username function is working m8.

Thats true... but how lame is that compared to the old system of click on usercp and GO?

Click your name above avatar and then find all posts, how hard is that?

VERY if you don't have your avatar onscreen to begin with... you have to search for it first... THEN do what you're telling me to.

What?

It is simple I believe.

Have you tried the "Quick Links" > "My Profile" > "Find all posts by " + [Insert Username Here]?

Angus Higgins

Finally, a sensible answer. It's not as good as the old system, but it's better than the people in this thread who suggest I "search" my name name every time, lol.

Thanks for helping!

Your name should still be there though, I just mentioned avatar so you'd know where to look.

My name? Seriously I'm not getting it... nothing that says "jumpingmedic" on my page right now gives any kind of help towards finding my posts... sorry if im just being thick... but you'll have to walk me through this like a 1 year old coz its all bs to me.

Unless you actuallyu mean the title of the post i made... which would be stupid.

When i sign on to OCUK i am not immediately given my title... I cant see my avatar unless i SEARCH for it.... so if you're suggesting that i search for my title so that i can search for my title... I am going to scream....

Your name on the left next to where you post, can you see that? I have avatars turned on.

Yes i see that... but that is what i am looking for! How can telling me to click what I am looking for, help me in finding what i am looking for!? Seriously?!
Really dont mean to be rude... but obviously ther's a major breakdown in communication here because someone is not getting what i want to communicate :/

Search button then, and search your username. Or in user cp view all subscribed threads and click your name from one of those. Seriously though how many times will you even need to do that realistically?

Search my own name: Yes realistic... but very very slow.. but it works.

User Cp... there used to be an option there.. but its not there since the recent revamp.

How many times will I need it? Well before the revamp I used it about a dozen times a day... so.... It's so I can remind myself of what threads I've replied to and check up on them... obvious I would have thought.

Really? Curious now but why did you need to view your own posts so often?

:? because I want to check them in case i need to reply to them... why? how do you check yours? Seriously you're genuinely confusing me here.

All I do is middle-click Search at the top. Advanced Search opens in new tab. I punch my name in the top right field (Search by User Name) and away I go.

How much easier do you want it?

As easy as it was before the revamp tbh...

Well I go to my user cp and the posts are there that have been replied to as I subcribe to my posts automatically, you're confusing me lol.

I go to user cp and all i get are a bunch of password and email related options... absolutely nothing to do with thread options or my posts. Thats what's annoying me.. WHERE ARE MY POSTS!?
