"My Posts"

[Annie Moosee]

Why am I not able to see anything I've posted in the last two months when I look under "My Posts"?

the search is also not pulling up anything when I search my own name. What's up, buttercups?

1. Can you post any links to the recent posts that aren't showing?

Which threads have you posted in recently?

2. I can see your posts in your journal on your profile page

3. Are you trashing terms that you use a lot?

I know, the chances of blocking everything are nil, but when I don’t see a post of mine, it’s usually because I trashed a word in it.

Don’t forget (and this is a somewhat arcane fact), trash matches any word CONTAINING your term, so if you block camel, then camelhair will also be blocked.

Some people block Trump, which is why a lot of us shorten or misspell that name on purpose on OP titles.

Just a wild idea. Happened to me but not on this scale.

8. My DU - Trash Can to block words in titles and Forums

My DU - Ignore List to block people.

The Trash lists are ignored on the DU home page, but are enforced on Latest, perhaps orhers.

Hope this helps.

4. They only keep about 30 days in the "Posts" page ("My Posts" tab), despite what it says at the top of the page

Only your posts which were posted or replied to in the last 90 days are shown.

False, 30 days, or 29 days.

My last post saved on that "page" (happens to be on page 2, the final page of it for me) is dated July 18.

This might not be what you are asking about, but it's important information to me anyway -- I save the Posts page about every 20 days by selecting them all, and do a copy and paste (and selecting keep original formatting) into a Word file dedicated for that purpose.

Then I do some formatting -- get rid of bold, make it arial 8, "paragraph" spacing 1.5 lines, etc.

The higher frequency, about every 20 days, is because the last week or so have dates like "12:22 PM" "YESTERDAY" "MONDAY" "TUESDAY", so when I scrape those again 3 weeks later, they are all replaced by dates like "Aug 16" etc. which are much preferable for a long-time archive.

It's quite a bookkeeping chore, actually. But a very important tool for finding old posts that I spent a lot of time writing.
