Is there a feature on Doom9 to pull out only posts/threads I have been involved in or started? "Search" should do that, right?

The "Search" engine will not locate them (for my username at any rate). I have "subscribed" to one thread and found it through "userCP" -however- "Search" failed to locate it or any other of my articles/posts. I swear it was working before but I can't get a "Search" to return what I've posted.

With just the "Search" button (between the "f.a.q." and "home" buttons) at the top of the frame??? I just tried it again for the umpteenth time. I can't get it to work...

Aww! I can't believe it! It's right there! I'm searching in the "keyword" box to the left. Unbelievable ---- I'm so embarrassed! Duhh!

Thanks.

Or you could've use the search button in one of your posts. This wil show you ALL your individual posts while the search button, on top of the page, gives you threads you have posted in. ;)

or click "user cp" which will show the threads you have posted in and that have gotten new posts since you last visit at the forum

More info on "Search" - It's a good thing...
What you've pointed out is valuable because both Search buttons look exactly the same. But that is a 2Cool way to pull out just your stuff.

I did take a shot at user-CP before posting the orig question and since I wasn't subscribed, the results were as expected.

Thanks to all who shined some light....

It's also another 2COOL way to find out if someone violated the crossposting rule (Forum Rule 8). AFAIK, I think the record is 5.

You probably have this setting in user cp > Messaging & Notification > Use 'Email Notification' by default? selected as Yes.
