I just logged on to view my subscriptions, which I believe is a list, with links, to questions I have posted. It has been a few months since I logged in but I now have no items that I have posted. At least one of these was still an open item.
How long does my subscription list stay posted? Why are they deleted (sometimes like to go back and re-read to remind myself of the resolutions.
Thanks!
Putting the site-delimiting string into Apple's internal search function won't work. It's possible you added a space or other extra character. Paste this:
site:discussions.apple.com buzzoff13
into a search engine's url window. It worked for me in Yahoo search and returned a number of hits. Things to note:
— There is no space between the colon after "site:" and the "d" in "discussions."
— Some search engines may require that your username be inside quotes:
site:discussions.apple.com "buzzoff13"
I guess my question now is why aren't the posts listed under my account if they aren't deleted or removed?
Fair question, but we are neither moderators nor Apple employees. We can only report based on our observations and experiences. The Mods have not shared a reason for limiting how many post appear using internal search.

Threads don't get deleted or removed(but do become read-only) just for being inactive. Put your handle here and site:discussions.apple.com into your desired search engine.

In your case, use buzzoff13 and site:discussions.apple.com as the search terms.

Niel, thank you for the rapid response!
I am actually logged into my account and go to My Subscriptions and the only thread listed is this current thread.
Also, using the search engine, I am not sure of the syntax you are suggesting. Would you please share an example of the complete syntax?
I did as you suggested into a search engine, I use DDG, and found some stuff but not nearly all. went to site: discussions apple.com and put buzzoff13 into the search bar and found the read-only list. However, I know there was still one open item and I don't see it anywhere in the list. I can even see the current one you are helping me with.
Further update: when I put buzzoff13 site.discussions.apple I do get a search listing of the posts (again, not all of them) but I expected it to be listed on my logged in account.
I guess my question now is why aren't the posts listed under my account if they aren't deleted or removed?
Allan Jones, thank you and I can now see many of my old posts over the last few years. This is very helpful and have made note of the syntax for future use.
You are most welcome! Enjoy!
