In summary, the individual is having difficulty finding their own posts on the forum and is looking for a way to easily access them. They are given multiple options, such as clicking on their name and using the drop-down box or accessing their profile and statistics. Another option is to click on "Quick Links" and then "Subscribed Threads" to see a list of all posts they have made. They thank Tiny Tim for the helpful suggestions.

Hello,

I find the format of the forum a little difficult to use.

How do I find my own posts? I can't find a link on my profile page or anything to a specific user's posts.

Thanks

Click on your name, you will get a drop down box, click on "find more posts by *yourname*".

Yes, but that option is not available until I can find a post that has my name in it, which requires searching for my posts. Why can't there just be that same drop-down list whenever I log in?

Click on the "Quick Links" drop-down menu on the menu bar, and then click on "Subscribed Threads" … that will give you a list of all the threads you've posted in. :smile:

Did you try clicking on your name? You will get a drop down box, just click on your posts. You don't have to search for anything, all of your posts will appear.

Another option is to click on "My PF" in the top lefthand toolbar at the top of the page, click on "My Profile", click on "statistics", then click on "find all posts by *your name*"
