    And have a link which takes me to my last post on the thread (i.e. not a link to the OP)?

    Cheers

    Oooops, that's not it! The only options I can see are to take you to the OP, or the last post on the thread. Not to the last post that you submitted. Is there are option for this?

    You could do a search for your posts in the forum. Then look at the first one in each thread you want to read.

    I am getting an error message for ANY "userid" search.

    It says
    , whether it is a thread search or a full board search.

    Long story short... it doesn't work anymore. Neither does Top Poster, Top Rep List, Hottest Threads, Welcome our Newest Member, Members Online or Most Viewed Threads.

    Progress, eh? ;)

    There's a link in your member page, top left, that says "find latest posts", but it doesn't work.

    This sucks for folks like me who have fairly long gaps between visits. I always used the "find all posts by ____________" link in my member page to find threads I posted in which were buried. Now I'm finding it very difficult, if not impossible to locate my discussions unless I'm here all the time, which i don't want to be.

    Since we have begun using the new format I have been unable to use the search function?

    Is this a common problem? Are the mods aware of it?

    Help?

    Search doesn't work.
    Advanced search doesn't work
    Find all posts (on anyone's profile page) doesn't work.
    Find posted threads (on anyone's profile page) doesn't work.

    AND how do you access the "auto-saved" info???

    We are working on the search function.
    Auto save is just so you don't lose your post if you leave the page to look up something...like another link or whatnot.

    I did just that - I went to my profile page instead of putting it in a new tab. When I came back the post I was working on was gone. Please check on it.

    My question is HOW do I get an UPLOADED jpg pic to show larger like the url-linked jpgs do?

    Post one of the pics here so they can have a look at it, in case they need an example?

    To avoid that, do 'advanced'. It works, every time.
    From what I've noticed, if the forum is slow, and auto save doesn't come up quickly, the post is lost.
    Its supposed to work though, I'll play around with it and see what happens.

    Most of that stuff is irrelevant to me. But, on a site with this amount of throughput, it's pretty important to be able to check responses to your posts.

    I'm starting to consider moving to another forum, I'm not prepared to trawl through page after page to find my last post, so I can subsequently trawl more pages to find responses.

    You can visit each day Joker, but being as this forum has a HUGE amount of posts, you'll easily lose where you posted.

    I have a feeling that the amount of posts will start to drop off however, being as the main purpose of the site is to enable people to chat to each other. Which necessitates the ability to find the post you made and subsequent reponses, EASILY.
