How do you see your posts?

KathyPet — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 20:34:22 GMT

not a topic you started but a post you made within a existing topic. when I click on my name all I see is threads that I started not those I responded to.

What kind of device and operating system are you using to post? It seems to make a difference.

I use a Windows computer and after I post I see this:

I click on that message and it takes me to the post I just wrote. But you also have to have your settings right.

This seems counter-intuitive, but you need to make sure that "Show confirmation pages for posts" is NOT checked. When I checked that box, clicking Post took me to a blank page the next time I posted. Weird.

To change this setting:

1. Hover your mouse cursor over your username.

2. Click My Settings.

3. Click Preferences.

4, Remove any check in the Show confirmation pages for posts box.

5. Click SAVE.

I hope that helps. If you're using a Mac or a mobile device, I have no idea.

I am using a IPAD air. I checked the settings and the show confirmation page is NOT checked

Kathy, at the time that you reply to a post, are you having a hard time seeing how it looks after you click post?

Are you trying to find your replies to threads that you posted to, let's say last week or the other day?

Hey, KathyPet. birdmama answered your question. In the picture she posted in message 3, under your name and the date it gives for your account registration, it says "2,636 Posts." Click on that, and that will take you to a list of all of your posts (whether they were OP or replies).

Thanks to all for trying to help. I have tried these suggestions but all I see is a list of threads that I started myself and a list of postings I made that have received hearts. I simply cannot see all the posts I have created. I think I am going to give up.

Do you see anything above these words?

If you see a number next to a thought bubble, click it.

Kathy, is this new forum, not all of these are threads that you started. Because of the way we have to REPLY to posts, you are going to look like the author all of the time.

It doesn't mean you started the thread. It's all of your activity, even when you are responding.

Try clicking on some of the items you see and I think you will understand what I am talking about.

I can't find my posts either. When I first reply, I can see that I have successfully responded. But if I return and want to see if someone answered a question I may have asked, how to I check? Unless someone hearts my responses, I don't see any way to check. My avatar and number of posts are there in the long chain of posts, but in the old boards, I could click see my activity. Is there nothing like that? I have a Mac or iPad.

Nope, it doesn't work for me. My posts may be all there, but the first one is from two weeks ago when the board first opened.

Is there any way to get them to list in chronological order?

Remember when they had "My Activity" before they changed everything? That was great because we would just click on that and it would take us to all our threads and posts. I still don't know how to find anything I responded to on this new forum. Oh, how I miss the previous forum, it was so user friendly.

here is how i get to mine.....it is ALL posts in chronological order..... i have posted this before and i know it did help some people. i am currently using a laptop.

go to SEARCH FORUMS & BLOGS on the forum page.

enter your user name

go to the drop down box right next to it and go to USERS

click on the red GO button

you should see your user name and information come up in a greyish box.

click on where it says xxxxxxPOSTS (which states your total post count). it is under my incorrect sign-up date.

ALL of your posts that were not "lost" should now come up in chronological order. posts that you started AND posts that you have responded to.

i am hoping they come up with a slightly easier access point to get to these posts, but once you begin doing it it is not difficult. hope that helps!

This^^^ will get you the same results that "My Activity" used to.

To add a little more help to sunshine's (excellent) explanation above:

1) when you type your name ino the search box, it may give you a list of users below where you're typing as "suggestions". Your name may be one of the suggestions. DO NOT CLICK YOUR NAME HERE. You have to actually click "go" (over to the right) and let it search for this to work, from what I have found.

2) Once you have gotten to the page where all your posts are listed, you can bookmark it in your browser. Then, just use that bookmark to get back to that page any time, refresh it, and you will have much easier access to all of your posts.

3) When you are looking at these results, you might *think* it is only showing you posts you started (since you are always listed as the "author.") But that just means you were the author of that reply, so it really is all your posts and replies.

Hope this helps!
