Finding our own posts in threads

I am subscribed to the "For Love of English Three Speeds" thread. I assume I posted in it but don't know why. For curiosity's sake, I want to know what I posted in it but can't find my post. Let's assume I posted it when I was drinking bourbon and watching Hogan's Heroes reruns like tonight. How do I search a thread for what I posted? Let's also assume that in the morning before I've had enough coffee to get me over the bourbon I had tonight I can't follow directions, a link to what I posted would be appreciated.

Another problem I'm having is I thought there was a "Forum Issues" forum but all I found was a "Forums Suggestions" forum so I posted it in Foo as I thought some of you may drink too much as well and have this problem. If there is a moderator or administrator sober enough to put this thread in the correct forum, have at it.

I picked up a bike this weekend I offered $40 for in correspondence. When I went to look at it I offered $50 and the lady was quite happy. The way I look at it is my kids and grandkids have to sell...

Odd, that is taking me to the thread, and not to the posts. I would have thought that would be the post numbers, but those numbers are much bigger than the number of posts in the thread.

Post dates: 02-07-22, 07:31 PM & 02-21-22, 08:11 PM

Ok, so here's the second post:

Ahh, I had to turn JAVA back on, and have some patience, and it finally opened your first post:

Thanks. I thought I tried that but it didn't work. And while I can use drinking as an excuse for that, I don't know what made me give $35 too much for that bike.

All you gotta do is, if your on a smart phone, just click on your avatar/user name and go down to the right of that page and click on "your posts" and scroll backwards from there. Same on a pc. Just click on your user name/avatar upper right corner then click on "your posts".

sometimes I will click on my avatar at the top right of the screen. then from the drop-down, select one or more of these options
  • my posts
  • my recent posts
  • subscribed threads
I can usually find what I'm looking for

You may have just subscribed to the thread while randomly clicking on things or to get out of the thread. Note there is a subscribe button in every thread at the bottom of the last reply and in the thread tools dropdown above the first post.
