I cannot see my subscriptions - Is it only me or a bug of this platform

I have posted a few posts over the years and I cannot see them under


https://discussions.apple.com/profile/MY-USER/subscriptions

or under

https://discussions.apple.com/profile/MY-USER/participation

Can someone clarify? I am looking for the post I recently created and the ones I was involved in and I definitely have add some that i can find from browser history, such as


https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255030438

So why cant I see them in my profile?

Yes, a recent bug. When I checked mine yesterday I could see my posts back one month but no more, and I've been here over 20 years. The moderators are aware of the issue.


For now, you can use a site-delimited string in your favorite search engine to limit the returns to only those posts in Apple Discussions in which you authored. Example:


Username +"bizmate”+"2022" site:discussions.apple.com


should return the posts you made in 2022.


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 +"bizmate”+"reset NRVAM" site:discussions.apple.com


Username must be exactly what you use here, not a variant.


I've seen other string options posted here that do the same search, but the above works for me.


Interior search here has been a sticky gear since late 2018,. That is when this incarnation of the forum software, apparently the one one capable of handling an estimated 3 million users, went live. Maybe it has something to do with 3 million users!?


Anyway, there are options. Hang in there! We are.
