An idea for making seaching your own post easier…
Trying to find your own post on the site to check on comments,etc, especially if posted more than a day or two ago, can be difficult.
But I have an idea. I haven’t tried it yet but let me know what you think and if this might work.
somewhere in one of your posts (and only in one) you add a nonsense word that you would never find in any real posting. Add it in the body of the post.
Something like “flabbergrub” or snotnickleflydip” You know, a nonsense word that you will remember, that will be only yours and that makes no sense otherwise.
Then when you do your search, you search for just that word. if it comes up you then just click on your username and all of your posts come up for you to see.
Does that sound like it will work? if it does, it would certainly make finding your own posts easier.
NOTE:
I just tried this and it works. I added the word in the body of the post and it came right up on the search. Seaching for my username didn’t work .
Okay now, let’s all come up with our own, unique nonsense word. scurry off, scurry off :)

Or you could just click on “Your Profile” on the left hand side…
IT WORKS!
I just tried it using the word “flabbergrub” that I had in the above post and it came up right away on the search page.
If you click your own user name it will show you all the posts you’ve written. Jabberwocky.
Well excuuuuuuuuuse me. someone asked a question about a search, I tried to help. I’ll just crawl off now with my tail tucked between my legs ;)
And by the way, EVERY time I’ve clicked on the my profile link in the last week I’ve gotten the “Bad Gateway” page…not something I enjoy
The owner of the site said in a post that it may take awhile to get everything up and running smoothly on the new server. So just hang tight folks. It will get sorted out in due time.
Personally I remember the threads I comment on because I comment only on those that interest me.
MyStarbuck, Sham and SomeArtz are just trying to help you. If you click on your name, you’ll have no problem and being gracious doesn’t cost anything.
No, not Artz. Arzt. A - R - Z - T. Arzt. I know a bunch of ninth graders who spell it just fine.
