How do I view previous threads I started?

[Ben321]

I don't want to see all posts I've made on any threads I posted on. I need a way to search for previous threads I've started. Yet, I can't find anything to do that on this forum. Other forums I've been on have that feature. Please help. I'm looking for a specific thread I started in the past, and I know what it was about, but I don't know any exact phrases used (or even the exact title). So I can't just use the search box and type in something. I know what it was about, so if I could call up a list of all previous threads I've started, since I already know what the thread is about, if I see a thread regarding that topic, I'll know it when I see it. But I can't find a button like "show all threads you started" in the search in this forum. Admin, can you please add a search like that? Thanks in advance.

I feel your pain. This site is powered by the SMF software which dates back to the early two thousands, long before more modern forum software had been introduced and facebook-ised.

As much as I'd like to review old posts, the rapid response of old wed code is, to me, a breath of fresh air.

Thanks for Ben321 for asking the question and BravoV for the answer.

After a bit of experimenting, I found that you can find a member's user number by clicking on their name. When their profile page comes up, look at the URL to find their user number.
