phpBB: How to find my posts?

Sun Jan 17, 2016 6:52 pm

Someone recently posted a (long complex) URL that would bring you to a nice display of all of your (i.e., my) posts. I didn't save that complicated URL, of course, but I'd like to know how to do this in future.

ISTR that it just required clicking on the user somewhere and it would show you all of that user's posts, but it doesn't seem to work now. When I click on a user, it seems to bring up the User Control Panel for that user.

Also, the FAQ says that you can do this from the User Control Panel, but I see no option there to do it.

I use the 'prosilver' theme and in 2 clicks can peruse your 86 posts :D

In the rapite themed UCP you should see a section 'user statistics'. There should be a link 'search user's posts' which brings up the list.
After you checked that you should switch back to prosilver ASAP ;)

I am using raspite (the default). I do not see "user statistics". At the top level I see:

User Control Panel

Overview
Profile
Board preferences
Private messages
Usergroups
Friends & Foes

Front page
Manage subscriptions
Manage bookmarks
Manage drafts
Manage attachments

Is it under one of those?

Click your username next to the logout button. Click Show your posts under Your activity.

Not interested in switching.

But I can get there from the link provided above (that ends with "egosearch"). I have bookmarked that link.

So, is the consensus that there is no way to do it in the default "skin"?

It's in overview. Section 'Your activity'. There's a link 'show your posts'.
