Finding my posts

poorboy126 · December 14, 2007, 05:55 PM

Hey new to the site, but really loving it. I was wondering how I find all the forums I have posted on? I know you can click on another users name and see their posts, but how do I do that for me?

There are several ways to find your own posts.

Enter your name in the username box and search (pull down the search menu and select Advanced Search). That's the hard way.

If you have one of your posts handy (like the one above), left click on your name and select "Find more posts by [your name]". That's a little easier.

Click on your name on the front page in the Currently Active Users down near the bottom. Your name should be first in the list. That will bring up your own profile where you can select to view your posts or any threads started by you. That's the easiest and most thorough method.

Welcome to TFL!

Thank you very much for explaining that to me in a clear and understandable way. I'm glad I asked and appreciate your help.

One more way is to click on the "Quick Links" tab on the top of your screen. Select "Subscribed Threads" and it will list all the threads you are subscribed to, as well as which ones have recent activity since your last login.

... if you have subscribed to any threads.

The Quick Links menu is, however, a faster way to get to your profile than the method I described. (select "My Profile")

Doesn't the system automatically subscribe you to any thread you post in? It does for me, anyway...

Not by default. You have to have selected that option under Edit Options in your User CP. (Personally, I dislike and don't use subscriptions.)

On other vBulletin forums I belong to there is a search feature in the box where it says, "Welcome, MarkoPo." and where you look at your private messages. They have a "My replies" and "My threads" button. Is there anyway that feature can be enabled on this forum? It does make find the thread you post in quite easy to find.

I agree, that would be a nice-to-have feature. However, it sounds like a hack or an add-on feature. It's not something that comes with native vbulletin. You're only two quick mouse clicks away from the same options though in all vb forums - Quick Links -> My Profile. Then select "Find all posts" or "Find all threads". But, like I said, having them on every page would be nice.
