After the database issues (possible upgrade?) this morning I've found that the area for 'My Posts' is missing.

I have flushed cache on Chrome but will try again however it seems missing and now all I get is a 'Activity Stream'. :(

While that is a nice function I really, REALLY enjoyed going to the My Posts area and seeing all those posts that I had communicated it so I had a quick way to easily check if any threads that I've participated in were updated or additional replies were posted.

Is this in error or has something changed?

Thanks!

We can subscribe to threads we're interested in keeping track of, which may have advantages over the "My Threads" link anyway, since I sometimes want to continue to track threads I haven't commented in, and don't always care about threads in which I have...

... But I do hope it's not gone for good, and don't think I much care for the "Activity Stream", which is very Facebooky and offers too much verbiage for quickly navigating through stuff that is not necessarily relevant to you.

wish I read this before I posted on the topic....anyway the only problems with subscribing is that if you don't log in for a few days you stop getting email alerts from the forum.

hopefully this is just a fluke.

Since the "what's new" thread was closed, I'll repeat my post here:

Being thrust into Activity Stream when I click on What's New? seriously impacts the usability of ECF! What's New? is how I navigate through this monstrously large forum.

Please repair or restore the What's New? function!

the "my posts" button on the main bar is a start (whew! ), is there anyway to tweak it so we have the option of getting the results as threads rather than individual posts?

never mind...i just found the "my threads" button

...now to train myself to click on the right side of the tool bar rather than the left :facepalm: :laugh:

To get the "My Posts" search results:

Go to "Advanced Search"

Select the checkbox for "Posts"

Under "Search For", go to the "User Name" text box and enter your user name

Under "Additional Options" - "Sort Results By"; select "Date" and "In Descending Order"

Click on the "Search Now" button in the 'Additional Options' area.


Bookmark (add to Favorites) this search result, rename it to "My Posts" and you'll never be without this beloved ECF feature :D
