I post frequently. sometimes I get answers, sometimes not. How can I get a list of my questions? I tried looking at my "subscriptions" but it's blank. Searching my user name turns up some, but not all.

Good morning Richard.
Under your "Subscriptions," I see only this post plus one about Location Services in the Apple Watch forum. But read on.
Subscriptions have been a problem since they changed the name to "Subscriptions" in a major redesign of the forums in late 2018. Starting mid last year we could no longer see posts made more than six days out. Then it started showing about three months worth. Haven't checked lately to see if it's grown any smarter because the checking alone is a pain. As your fellow end users, we have no way of knowing why this is. I can, however, provide a workaround.
The sure way to see old posts regardless of when they were made is a site-delimited web search. You would use this search string:
"Richard Setterberg" site:discussions.apple.com
The quotation marks are important, as is not using space between the colon and the "d" in "discussions."
I just used that string and, even with a cursory look, found a lot of hits including one of you posts from May 2006!
Can I burn To DVD+R? - Apple Community
So until the powers that be figure out how to tame the rogue search function for a forum serving an estimated 3 million people, the site-delimited web search is your best tool.

Thanks. Funny side note:
I tried what you suggested, and it did pull up a bunch of my questions . . . except this one. I tried to respond from the link in my email . . . and it didn't work! I tried all manner of searches to get here without luck. I finally hit the "helpful" button, and here I am.

Tangent to funny side note:
A Level 2 forum member actually exists?? Wowzers, Penny! 🙀
I feel very lucky to spot one in the wild. (I actually took a screenshot. 😊😁)
How do I find my own forum questions?
