Question

Viewing Previous posts made by yourself??

  • July 13, 2011

How in the world can I view my individual posts where I answered questions but didn't start the discussion? Any post I make in a discussion should automatically set me as part of the discussion and show up in "discussion" under "my stuff"... I can't find my previous posts and it's frustrating that this forum lacks this simple ability because now when people post similar questions I can't link them to my answer!!

    Until the Search is fixed, see these threads,

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/875724?tstart=0

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/823088?tstart=0

    you may use the Google (Advanced) Search, or just normal search using " " where needed:

    1) Angryp00nani
    2) "Mar 16, 2011"

    3) "Up to discussions in ***Forum name***", in this forum "Up to discussions in Forum Comments"

    4) Actual word(s) you have used (if relevant, to limit the number of hits).

    You can do this by clicking on your name shown at the top left corner of the window like this:

    When you click on your name, you then need to click on "Profile" tab if it is not open automatically and all your posts should be listed there if you scroll down.

    Hope this helps.

    I very much doubt that your profile lists all of your 491 posts ... or even one tenth of them.

    Actually it does.  In my case I can see all my messages going back to June 01 2009 when I first bought my first DW package.  See this picture:

    It is under Email Notifications on your profile page.  Miine has 23 pages of this info!!!

    There are several things the forum software SHOULD do but does NOT do... such as a proper search

    If there is something important to you... copy the individual link into a notes file that you keep, either a text file or a Word document

    Thank you for your reply. While that may be the obvious solution to problem while I'm typing a response it makes no sense when trying to find said response... Your logic is sound but your implied circumstances are misleading. It's like you telling me I should have turned left to avoid the accident AFTER I had already turned right and crashed... which is to say: thank you but I already figured this much out. However these are not styled like normal forums, adobe had to make them fancy, which I can appreciate but not at the cost of functionality. I can search my user name but it doesn't find anything I've posted.

    Maybe a signature or just finish every post with a unique ID sig so I can archive my posts within the bounds of the search parameters? That could possible be a better solution as honestly the information is not THAT important to me but I use it maybe once a year to reorder my open/save file dialogue prompts... hardly frequent enough to need to remember this information and not really important enough to put the information in my notes document... Maybe I bookmarked it though....

    Again thank you for your suggestion
