    Hi:

    We log in and want to review our postings. At my age (86) we tend to
    forget details at times.

    So we do a search, enter our user name and press enter.

    The last posting shows a date of Oct 2006.

    Now that is incorrect, we have posted several items in 2007.

    Where are these ?

    Thanks

    That is because you are not doing the correct search.

    First click on Advanced Search on the window that pops-up when clicking on Search. Now you can Search by User Name.

    Another handy (quick) way you can review your postings is to click on your username (jbarker) that is displayed in the left side of one of your forum posts and select "Find More Posts by jbarker ".

    That will open a search results page listing all your posts in reverse-chronological order in several pages linked at the top-right and bottom-right of the page as
    "Page 1 of 9 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | > | Last » | ".

    If you have trouble quickly locating one of your forum posts to perform the action I described above or you have not posted here in a long time, then login (if necessary) and submit a "test post" in the "Test Posts" forum. Click on your username in that "test post" after submitting the post and select "Find More Posts by jbarker ". ;)
