Is it possible to look up your started threads???

Is it possible to search up the Threads that you have started in your history???

I can find the posts I posted, but not the threads I... threaded.     ;D

I go to one of the topic groups then click the  "started by" column link then infer which page you will be in the list until you find your name in the list.

I thought about a "workaround", which is perhaps not too good, but based on the idea, that very rarely a thread-name exists without an "e" (as a vowel) in it. May be there are some, but they can be added by searching for the other vowels, too. Look:

Go to the "Forum search.". Select "Advanced search". Type e* into the search field, => match all words, => by user: ( delete the * and enter your username there ).
In "options", click "show results as messages".
Then execute the search.

I tested it with my username, and it gave me the 7 threads I started.
Then I tested it with your username, and it gave me 63 threads you started, but, as I said, perhaps there are some additional ones started by you which might not contain an "e" in the title.

(Addition: Which means, that there should be only 5 missing, because I spotted in your general statistics that you started 68 threads. )

Cordially, 8_octaves.

...and if you want to have all 68 threads of you listed, then this:

Enter e* a* in the search field of the advanced search. Then select => match any words => your username

Then, again, click "show results as messages" and execute the search.

This time, your 68 threads are listed.

(I only tried this once, and as far as I could see, there were no redundancies. )

The only thing is, that the thread-titles themselves may be not well readable, especially there could be issues with the vowels, because perhaps they couldn't be "translated" for visualization by the computer appropriately, so you would connect facts and content to that what you still know.

But the 68 are there.  :)

Cordially, 8_octaves.
