how long do you have access to your past posts in your profile? For example, if an issue that I posted about reoccurs I'd like to go back to my original post to see how to fix it rather than search other users' posts. thank you

Your older posts should remain available in your Apple Support Community profile unless the post itself has been removed.
Go to your profile and look under your activity/content to find discussions you’ve participated in. For something you may want to revisit later, I’d also bookmark the discussion in your browser. That’s usually quicker than digging through a long activity history.
If a post was removed by the hosts, though, it won’t remain available from your profile.
The only thing I would add is in my experience the previously subscribed posts only remain for about 45 days, I have not seen them go back as far as 3 months. The may be due to the number of posts I have subscribed to, but I have not seen it documented anywhere that the limit is by a certain number of days or posts.
In any case, the recommendation by Owl-53 is the best method to use that browser URL to view your posts.

Thank you my friend
Screen shot of my Owl-53 ( moi ) Subscriptions
And mine show the oldest subscriptions being on page 29 (40 days prior) without being able to go back any farther. That is why I wasn't sure if it is the number of posts or the time that is the limiting factor.

The others are correct, but are you wanting to EDIT a previous question? you can only edit an existing question within about 15 minutes of posting. Old posts cannot be edited.
Yup, though in my case and that is my choice
I keep mine clean as in 2 - 3 days OLD and unsubscribe to anything older
Best I now open a New Can of Worms that coincided with the last ASC Site update
" NOTICE: Community DOWN time - July 21 "
Since that time, no go for dropping older posting in Subs
thanks but to clarify, I mean if the technical glitch happened again on my MacBook or there was a rainstorm and its affected my wi-fi, I'd need to read the instructions again. I didn't mean to edit my original question/text. thanks again
I don't post here a lot because I am not resourceful enough to help others. I come here only for advice and help. Thanks to everyone who has always helped me/ helps me still.
On belief off all who have posted
You are welcome đź‘Ť
going back to your past posts
