Using Search on a Username

I am trying to search for posts I have made by using the search, advanced search link.
Unfortunately it is giving me someone else's posts. My username is TotallyBroke but all I get to see is Totallybroke. I have logged out and back in a couple of times. I have also searched on someone else's username and got the correct result.
Please can someone enlighten me as to what I can do to see my posts. Thanks

    I had much the same problem and could not find an answer. Then I remembered a misspelling in one of my posts. I put the misspelling into "search" and then I am taken to to this post and hence to my username.

    Hi TB, I just searched your posts and found them. Are you putting the capital B in your name when searching?
    Boots Card - £17.53, Nectar Points - £15.06 - *Saving for Chrimbo*

  • Yes I am using the capital B but it is still giving me the other results. It's weird because I can see your results if I put your username's in I just can't see my own.
  • Yeah I've done it. I logged out completely, closed the session and then logged back in. Thanks to everyone I should've done that before posting. Thanks again.
  • If you want to find your own posts click on your user name(in athread) and go to the "find more posts by",
    or if you want to find all threads started by you, same thing but click on "view public profile"
