How to Find Your Posts in a Specific Thread or Forum

[Amaury]

I know I can go to my profile to view all my posts, but that's all my posts. (There's also no way, that I can see, to view threads you've started.)

Is there a way to view posts I've made within a specific thread? For example, the Unique, Odd, or Interesting Signs thread. Then when you click on them, it would be the same as just viewing all your posts on your profile, where it takes you to that section of the thread.

All within a single menu: Profile Info → Posts → Topics

I've never known a way to do this. Even back when thread search worked, searching for your username would search for people mentioning you (including in quote attributions) rather than your own posts.

On the first one, perfect, thank you!

On the second one, I just tried putting a thread subject line into the search box (using a thread in which I know made multiple posts but have not posted recently), putting my name in the post author box, and restricting the search to the topic lines. Didn't work—it found only one post from the thread in question.

Yeah, the search feature was clunky before the change, but it's garbage now.

Try this on Google...though it's imperfect.

Code Select Expand

site:aaroads.com/forum {username} {topic number}
Leave off everything after the decimal for the topic number. I don't know if this will work for all usernames which are common roadgeek terms or route designations. Even my name needs quote marks around it, since it wants to break it down into formula one.

This brings up all of my posts (though just the pages of that thread) in the Road Sign City Name Photo Game.

I suppose you could also use it to search within a specific thread, which no longer works in SMF.

Seems to be something of a mess, but it's better than what's on this forum now.
