Search help?
« on: April 15, 2014, 12:13:48 AM »
I'm trying to find a topic post I made right after Cold Days came out.  I'm failing at the search function, even after reading the help doc.  Can you tell me if it's possible to find all posts I've made?  I think the title was something like 'Family moments we'll never see.' 

Thanks for the help.


edit - I found the place to view posts I've made (by clicking on my user name), but the topic isn't there.  Is it possible old posts were cleared out?  Thanks again.

Unfortunately, a post that old will have already been pruned. Posts are automatically deleted after a certain length of time.

Another pointer:

You can look up all the (surviving) topics started by an individual (including yourself) through their profile. 

Steps:
Edit:  I somehow breezed past your edit saying you know how to get to your own posts... so you can skip to the last step :P
  • Click your name in the post you made above]/li]
    • click the "show posts" link below your name on the left of your profile page.
    • Above the displayed posts are three buttons [Messages] [Topics] [Attachments] click Topics

    You now have all the surviving topics you have started in front of you.  Unfortunately, in this case that just means this "Search help?" topic
