Find My Posts

**newskate9** · April 9th, 2010, 02:14 PM

Ok. Hopefully I'm not the only one here that thinks the search feature on this forum is like the worst in recorded time. And hopefully, it's because I just don't know how.

So, if I want to find my posts...... or a specific post I made, how do I do that? Many sites I go to have advance search tools, but I cannot find them here.

Am I a total loser or what?

Click on your username, then select "Find all posts by newskate9" from the drop-down list. Also, from the top of every forum, there is a "search" link. If you go to the advanced options, you can search by keyword and username to find a specific post you made.

welcome to vBulletin... there are millions of forums... and the search feature isnt the best on any of them. but what gnbrotz said is correct.

You have options to search by keyword and time frame.

How's the search feature on your website??

Thanks for the help all.

I wasn't trying to "ruffle feathers". Perhaps my humor was lost in translation. Sorry 'bout that.

Ok, I have the same problem. I've attached a screenshot of what the top of EVERY forum looks like for me.

The only search feature I see is the Google search bar right under the PAFOA logo. There is no advanced search anywhere that I can find. If I punch my username into that search bar, and select "PAFOA forum", I get one return, and its only a thread I started. I know I haven't replied to much more than one or two threads now, so I'm not expecting 100 returns either.

Also, when I click my username and then "Find all posts", I get redirected right back to where I was.

I could just bookmark the link tlgpa posted, but there should be a hyperlink right on the page somewhere, no? Normally in vBulletin there is a search link right in with the User CP, Members List, etc, but I don't get it.

That's why I came in the support forum, and it seems I'm not the only one with issues. Could it be the browser? If I'm just really missing it, PLEASE call me out and smack me, but I really don't see it.

It's not very intuitive to find it. I agree, there should be a link to get directly to it. Here's how to get there.

Image 1- Click "Search this thread" then "Advanced Search

Image 2- Click "New Posts" then "Search Forums"

Both will take you to the Advanced Search.

Turn off Javascript. Then you don't see the tempting and worthless goggle search bar. When you enter a forum, the search function is on the top right of the forum tools. If you simply want to search for all of your posts, regardless of forum, do as stated above. Click your name and then display all posts by user.
