Finding your own posts

Sounds stupid I know, I've been posting on here for years but i don't know how to find my own posts.

I used to do advanced search and search for all posts from Horlock which worked OK, but with google search doesn't seem have the same success.

Then I tried finding one of my posts - and I'll use this one as soon as I've posted. Click on my name on the post and then choose view posts by this member. Problem is sometimes I can't find one to find the others.

Anyone got a simple, and probably really obvious method which always works?

    I know what you mean. There should be an icon called 'My Posts' which will list out posts that you have written.

    What I do is do an Advanced Search then search for my own username..

    Agreed. All the other forums I'm on have a view own posts option. I've read the FAQ as suggested but couldn't see anything obvious there. Maybe I'm plain stupid :(

    Ive noticed even by using all the previous methods, it doesnt find all of my posts/threads. some I assume have been deleted as outdated or unread for too long, it seems feasable that MSE would make room on their systems y deleting older non used posts.
