There may be a better way but the way I do it is click on your user name at the top right where it says Welcome and then look under the Statistics tab - there'll you'll be able to find a link to all your posts and all threads you started.

Hi Tony, thanks for that info.
I have been looking under Search and have not been able to find the 'find all posts by.'
Is that a recent change? Kind of hiding the option.
Found it now. Thank you!

I'm not sure when it changed but you can still do it through Search - it's in Advanced Search - just put your own name in. A blank for keywords will just show all posts you've made. It's quite handy if you remember posting something and can remember roughly what it was about - or the forum it was in - that can narrow down the search a bit.

Eos,

At the far left of the blue menu bar is "User CP". Click that after you log in and you will see all of your new subscribed threads. These are the threads that you have participated in or subscribed to via thread tools that have unread posts in them. There is a link to click to show all subscribed threads if you want to see all the threads. You can make folders and and assign threads to different folders if you want to organize your subscribed threads.

On the left menu, under "Settings & Options" choose "Edit Options" to change your default thread subscription mode. It is in the "Messaging and Notifications area." If you set it to email (instant, daily, or weekly) you will get an email with the contents of the latest post and a link to the post on the forum.

Default Thread Subscription Mode
When you post a new thread, or reply to a topic, you can choose to automatically add that thread to your list of subscribed threads (http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/subscription.php), with the option to receive email notification of new replies to that thread.

Another way is the Quick Links drop down at the top right corner where is says Welcome, <User>. There is a menu and down near the bottom is a pick for Subscribed Threads. Any thread you post in you are automatically subscribed to and clicking that pick will bring up ALL threads you ever posted in, with the most recent right at the top. I use that all the time to check if there has been any activity on threads I have posted in. Check it out. There are several useful items there. :D

Gene & Karin: Thanks for that. I think we all need a lesson on how to best use the forum ;). I didn't realise that that's how subscribed threads work - I thought it was to do with email notifications which I don't want but I see it can be very useful.

Tony.
