I've asked this before, but the website has changed. How do you view previously posted threads, not posts? Seems unnecessarily difficult to find...
How to view previously posted threads?

Click For Summary
To view previously posted threads on the website, users can utilize the search function by clicking "Search" at the top right of the page, then selecting "Advanced Search." In the "Posted By" box, entering the username allows for filtering results. Users should also check the box labeled "Display results as threads" before clicking the "Search" button. It is advised to limit searches to a few days back to avoid overwhelming results. Additionally, some users recommend saving links to their posts for easier access later. There are concerns about the current search functionality compared to previous versions, particularly regarding the inability to easily select between viewing posts and threads. For further assistance, users are encouraged to visit the lounge section for admin-related questions.

Just do a search with a specified date as the only parameter. I don't suggest doing it for more than a few days back though 'cause you'll just get too many threads to bother looking atjoshmccraney said:

I would suggest to copy the link to any post you make. I have a folder with these links. Worse, do a site search ( upper right )with a word for your topic and/or authored by yourself.
Or, by topic and author:
I assume that fear of injection-like search strings restrict the ability to search.

WWGD, is there no way to do it like a few months ago, where I can select view posts or view threads?

Sorry Josh, I am not really sure. I think if you go to the lounge section of this site I think they have a subsection for admin-type questions of this sort. I would check further but I am in my phone , which makes any checking more difficult.joshmccraney said:

Click "Search" at the top right of the page. (This is on a desktop computer.)joshmccraney said:

Choose the "Search Threads" tab.

At the bottom of the page, just above the "Search" button, tick the box labeled "Display results as threads".
