Can't find my posts in the community
Why is it so difficult;lt when logged in to find the posts you've made. Surely there is a button for 'see my posts.' I can't find it under my icon as one might expect. It's not very Apple!

There are several ways to find old posts. I know that very old threads are still around but are not easy to find using the forum tools. I have bookmarks to some that are almost 20 years old.
1) Go to your My Subscription page.
Click on your name/avatar at the top of a Communities post, then go to the My Subscriptions tab. Check the "Filter" header on your My Subscriptions page. Use one such as "Participated" or "Authored" if you are looking for one in which you took part. You can also bookmark your Subscriptions page.
I believe there may be a thread count and/or time limit for these if you are looking for a really old discussion.
2) Try entering your ASC user name in the Search tool at the top of this page.
3) Another trick to try is a web search. With Google I would do something such as:
[the user name you use on this site] site:discussions.apple.com
and then use some of Google's date filter tools to narrow it down. Note that Google will not find all of your posts but if you can also include some words in the search that you may have used in the thread that will narrow it down too.
It is possible that other web engines may have a different list. It will depend upon when they crawled the ASC web site and how deeply they delved.
