Community Chat

Thanks, @debic!

She posted instructions in "Q Talk."

Similar to "My Activity" this method allows you to find not just your "original threads" (threads you started), it also allows you to see the ones to which you responded.

The thread is titled "Search your own posts" and you'll see instructions, an illustration, and questions/answers.

Here's a copy of her original post:

"The search button has a drop down menu and users is one of them.   Just type in your user name and go.   It will take you to your name with information.  One of that is a thought bubble with the number of posts you have.  That is clickable."

t I think they started the car, ran back into the house for their coffee travel mug...as the car then rolled down the driveway and off the cliff across the street.

LOL, Surfk.

hi this is Sylvia. I will check in a few days from now. the print is very small and I am a sissy when it comes to difficulty. Remember me

Sylvia, don't go! The print size is easy to change..go to "preferences"

@surfk, You're welcome!  I wonder about a lot of things regarding the changes...  they hurt themselves (and all their customers) by not having a group of regular users work with a beta-test version before implementing the changes.

@sylviahomeatlast, I hope you see @Mothertrucker's comment.  Please don't give up, just take some time to look at your settings, check out the "help" feature, and ask questions.

Thanks, DebC and DooBdoo! 

It was the last little puzzle for me, and this works like a charm. 

They could have left a page of directions, as a lot of the puzzlement involves dropdowns that appear only if you know they are there and press the correct arrow. 

I was assuming, in the "Search" Forums & Blogs, for instance, that "Community" is the only choice.  One has to click the little arrow to see that Category, Board, and User are categories there, too. 

And there is another dropdown to find the user's posts--but there they are: Eureka!

It's less important than when the Gamer's threads were here  (it was like a rogue blizzard of alphabet letters!).  But still it's an alternative way to find a thread I've posted to, and very nice to have.

@catlover,

It's at the top right of every forum screen.

Look to the right of the words "View All Forum Topics |  View All Blogs" above all the threads.

There's a box with very faint lettering "Search Forums & Blogs."  You enter what you're looking for, use the default "Community" or other choices in the drop-down menu to the right of the search box, then click "GO."

For those using this method, I recommend setting a browser bookmark once you find the page containing all your posts (I called my bookmark "My Activity" -- original, right?).  Then, you only have to do this search one time and in the future can click on your bookmark.
