Admin question about viewing posts

Can I see every message I've posted?

I'm trying to track down a particular thread but having no luck using the search. I know it was one I posted on, so I hoped I could just look through all the threads I've been involved in (I'd recognise the title easily).

But I can only see very recent threads. Is there any way I can get a complete history of all my messages with links to the threads?

Not that I know of but I did similar the other day. I managed to find my thread by putting my username in the query along with unique terms..

In many threads people reply using your suername so this worked.. have you tried thar?

>FAST

Fast and Google both index WebmasterWorld pretty well (extremely well, if you're comparing it to other board software). At last check, Fast had the bigger index of the threads. Given that our onboard search, ummmmm, sucks (that's about as delicate as I can phrase it -but really, ALL board software search functions are pretty lame by comparison to G or F.), I suggest going outside and using advanced search.

Besides, BT's server cpu has better things to do than try to crunch an index on 400k posts.

The problem was that the 'my threads' didn't go back far enough though...

I just realised that you used "My threads", that is why I edited the message.
