Hi All,
I would like to see my posts in reverse order, i.e., listed from the earliest to the latest, if possible.
I know I can use the " Your Content" link within " MY PF" , but then I have to repeatedly go to the
latest and repeat this process, click "7" ( Please see below):
Physics Forums search results page showing page 1 of 7 with a list of recent threads, a Recent Insights sidebar and Featured Discussions sidebar.


( Sorry, I don't know how to enlarge the screenshot ) until I reach the end of my posts, which takes a lot of time. Is there a way of having the order of the output inverted, or doing the search in a different way?
( Sorry, I searched other posts but did not see an answer).
Thanks.
 
Not exactly what you've asked for, but the usual search function with "posted by" has an option "newer than". I sometimes think, whether I should insert search tags in my posts, but I never think about it, when I write one.

F_FAA 4563 :biggrin:

There is no proper way to find your oldest posts, unfortunately. The search function is limited to 200 results and has no "oldest first" option.

I'm not sure you can... PF might have an automatic picture resizer that limits the size to 800px × 500px, or less ?

Firefox Page Info dialog on the Media tab showing a PNG attachment from physicsforums.com with size 86.35 KB and dimensions 800px × 500px, with a preview of a Physics Forums search page below.
 
However, the picture I just posted is a little bigger... ?

Firefox Page Info dialog on the Media tab listing image addresses, types, sizes and alternate text, with the selected entry showing 800px by 515px dimensions and 73.43 KB JPEG size.
Lol... I'm really not sure how anything works...o_O

Images are resized to a max of 800x600

Replying to all, it is possible. Open up a EDIT paint program, paste in, and then you can resize. EDIT: I looked it up after posting, sorry did not post it earlier.

What is a "pint program" ? Oh, wait. You probably mean "paint", yes?

Yes, just edited. My bad.

Traditionally, a "pint program" would be the same as a "one-eighth of a gallon program" ...

But I think WWGD is lost somewhere in studying topology, so it might be... ""an any unit, "of an any unit program", program"" ....:approve:

You just never know about those guys ..... :olduhh:

I can't believe I missed something so obvious. Good catch.

According to Occam's Razor, he might simply have missed the last call.

Damn. ANOTHER obvious interpretation that I missed. I'm slipping.

Actually, I cut myself while using Occam's razor . I spilled a pint of blood, which paint(ed) my shirt in red ;).
