finding previous posts

I am wondering, if it doesn't already exist. is there a way of looking up just links that I've posted? I'll post questions, check them, then they get buried under the multitude of other posts to be forgotten. Is there a way of looking at just the posts I've done?

Thanks,
Oren

Please ignore this thread, figured it out, but don't know how to delete it.

I'll go ahead and answer anyway just in case anybody else is wondering. There are four ways of doing so:

1. Click your name in the postbit and select "view more posts"
2. Select "my threads" from the quicklinks dropdown
3. From your profile, click the statistics tab and select "find all threads/posts"
4. Using the advanced search feature, type in your username and display results by thread

Adam, this is only half the answer...
1. If you search for threads, you'll find only threads you have started.
2. If you search for posts, you'll find all posts and you may just get overwhelmed by their sheer number.
What would be required is a search for all threads one has participated in.

I therefore have enabled the "automatically subscribe" feature which gives me exactly this information as the list of subscribed threads.

However, I would prefer to only subscribe to the most interesting threads and have a search for "participated-in threads" instead.

https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/search.php?do=process&u=1&starteronly=0&showposts=0&exactname=1

The above link will find all threads in which I have participated in, but not necessarily started.

Syntax guide:

QuoteOriginally posted by Jake Bunce:
You can submit a search to vBulletin with a URL, just like you can with the search form. The basic URL is:
http://www.petaxforums.com/forums/search.php?do=process&query=searchword
Where searchword is the word for which you are searching.

Here is a list of the extra search parameters you can add to the URL. When you add a search parameter to the URL you need to add this to the end of the URL:
&variable_name=value

  • 0 = Find Posts by User
  • 1 = Find Threads Started by User
Variable name: exactname
Values:
  • 0 = Partial name
  • 1 = Exact name

Where X, Y, and Z are the forumids of the forums in which you want to search.

Adam, thank you so much for teaching me this. I didn't know the feature is already here!

Maybe, just a little idea, you could add a third link in the "Statistics" tab of the profile, between the two already there,
"Find all threads with participation of memberid".
I see that the other two links are shortcuts to search-URLs, so that may be doable with little effort if you share my opinion that it would be a useful addition.

Sure, I can add that link! It sounds like that would help many users out with browsing.
