Hello there.
This is more a site related question than some-else, so let me know if this is not acceptable before (eventually) deleting or locking.
Why is in the user menu a "My Threads" choice, but not a "My Posts - (discussion I joined)" one?
I can't find some discussions, in eg, I just posted a couple times but read something interesting.
Maybe that thread was having a useful link for me, or useful news, or so...
Will the future gift us a "My Posts" menu choice?

Bye, Berserk.

You could just add any interesting discussions you want to go back to into your 'favourites', I suppose. Not quite the same, but probably the closest you will get.

Alternatly, you can tick the 'mail-back' option when you post. This way, you'll have a link to the thread in your email address when someone next posts.

The problem with 'My Posts' is that you end up with thousands upon thousands of posts without any real relation to eachother.
To find anything useful among them would take hours of reading when you can simply use the alread available search boxes at the bottom of each page.

It would be nice if threads you've posted in were a slightly different shade or something.

Rich has/had a beta with this functionailty in it. But it never got implemented. IIRC, the threads had different icons on them if you had posted.

I was talking about something like in GarageGames website.
In that site, when you click on "My Posts", you get a list of _all_ the threads you posted in, without listing every single post.
Could be comfortable this way, don't?

Why not just put your username into the google forum search at the bottom? Seems to do the trick most of the time (at least for recentish posts it seems). Plus you can see if anyone is talking about you... Only downside is if you have a name that is the same as a object. Someone called Apollo probably wouldn't get much luck. Think you are ok though Thc03.

Will using the site's search function just work?

At the bottom of the page you should see two search boxes. One says thread subject search (ignore that), and the other says Google forum search. Just enter your username into the Google forum search text box and hit the search button. As long as your username is pretty unique (yours is) then it should find all of your posts (dunno how far back) and anywhere where your name is mentioned.

Cheers

Fine. Thanks. However, this won't show me the thread titles.
Better than nothing...

To be perfectly honest here, forum search sucks big time on Apollo. Otherwise, it's the best forum I've ever used ^.^

Is not too bad, I enjoy these forums.
Just to say one, no forum I know allows you to upload multiple files directly on the forum server.
I even know some wich neither lets you upload anything.
