How do I see my old content in Apple Discussions? Not in "Recent Activity"

Over the years I have posted many questions and provided many answers to other people's questions in the Apple Community discussion forum. But now, when I try to look for a list of all my old content, it is not visible. Formerly it could be seen in the "My Subscriptions" tab on my user profile, but now it simply says "There is no recent content available." I see no way to alter the settings for what counts as "recent." What happened? Did Apple change the parameters for what content is visible to users, or am I being incompetent? It has been several months since my last post, but formerly all old content was visible in a list in my user profile, no matter how old. Is there any way for me to see old my previous content posted to the Apple Community discussions?

There was a bug lurking in the search function recently that kept search from displaying more than six days of posts. I just checked mine and it is better, but will not display more than a month's worth of mine.


The mods are aware but, for now, I recommend using a site-delimited search for older posts. Try this search string that limits the search to a username, year, and Apple Support Communities:


Username +"username”+"2010" site:discussions.apple.com


Replace "username" that is in quotes with yours, but keep the quotes.


If you do not need a date search, leave that part out. You can add a subject in the same way the year is added in the example:


Username +"username”+"reset NRVAM"+"2010" site:discussions.apple.com
