In summary, a user was trying to find a thread they had started in the Your Content page, but found it difficult due to the long list of posts. They suggested having a separate page for threads one has started, similar to other forums. Another user mentioned the option of using the 'Find' button on the profile page to locate all threads started by the user. The first user expressed gratitude for this solution.

Hi. I was trying to look up a thread I started while ago, in the Your Content page, however, it's really getting long. It would be great if there was a separate page for the threads that one has started (like a homework question), instead of having just a page with all the posts (all those interactions, back and forth with the other members/mentors/homework helpers, within a homework question itself) inside.

For instance, in most other forums, in one's account page, there is a list of questions one has asked.

Maybe I am the only one here who likes to take stock on the questions I asked... of course, there is always the option of compiling all links into a single document...

Okay, wait, it's a search query. Is there then a way to limit it to the nth post? Like post #1

There's a 'Find' button in your profile page that pops up a menu which includes the option to find all threads you've started.
