Does anyone know how to find ones old posts? Tried the search button but it doesn't help. Surely there must be a way to find a list of all your old posts ( as a starter) or is that only available to the moderators.
By the way DOUG - if you're reading this, tried contacting you but your mailbox is full.

Terry - I just did a search and found about 10 of my posts from the past 5 years . If you fill in as much info as you can it should work .

Doug has been very occupied with production of a Health Documentary and has been unable to focus on the forum lately .

But trust assured , he will get to all his messages and respond back to everyone , as soon as possible .

You can view your last 50 posts by going into your profile and then click "View recent posts".

When I go into my profile I don't get that facility. Just a view of sent and received messages.

Terry,

If you click on your profile icon...

...you'll see a link entitled View Recent Posts...

...which will show (as Maurice said) 50 of your most recent posts.

Sorry about my mailbox being full, I've cleaned it out.

David, thanks for your confidence!!

Doug

Thanks for that Doug. Got it now. Unfortunately it doesn't go back far enough. Is there a way to resurrect all posts originated by oneself?

I've found very old posts by Googling, if you know the subject. Type the subject, then add something like 8mm Film-Tech.

Terry,

When you used the search function, did you enter your member number (located in your profile)? Choose which section of the Forum (General Yak, 9.5 Forum, etc.) you'd like to search and up to 300 matches will be listed.
If you need to go even further back, I would go with either Robert's suggestion or try the Forum search again, this time entering keywords that you possibly used in your old post.

Terry,

Those are the only two methods. Either the most recent 300 posts in each section or using the search function. Because of your recent post, I assume you are looking for your original thread about VS. Using the words "cure VS" in the search function, I found your October 2017 thread in General Yak.
