AI Thread Summary
A new subscriber seeks guidance on generating a list of their messages using the "Advanced Search" feature but encounters issues. Another user suggests clicking on the username in a post to view all posts or accessing user statistics for the desired list. The discussion is redirected to the appropriate forum section for such inquiries, specifically "Forum Feedback and Announcements." Additionally, it is noted that only "gold" members and certain special categories can use signatures, while ordinary members have limited features. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding user privileges and navigating the forum effectively.

1) I am a new subscriber and I to know how to generate the list with links to my messages. The "Advanced Search" button, which I clicked, did have a box for entering my username. I entered it and clicked the "Search" button. But this did not produce the list I wanted. What should I do?

2) This is probably not the right place to ask such questions. Where should they be asked?

If you click on your username on a post, you should be able to click on an option to view all posts...you can also view your user profile, go to statistics, and then something like "find all posts by this user".
 
Thanks, jhae2.718

It works as you described.

Forum Feedback and Announcements is a common place for "how do I do it" kinds of questions. I've moved this thread there.

By the way, according to our rules (click the "Rules" link at the top of any page here), only "gold" members and other special categories such as Mentors, Science Advisors, etc. are allowed to use "signatures." Such members can set a signature in their profiles. Ordinary members are not allowed to set signatures manually.

"Gold" members are those who pay a subscription fee (click the "Upgrade" link at the top of any page here). They have other perks such as seeing fewer advertisements, being able to use an avatar, etc.
