Sep 25, 2016 11:41 AM in response to Roy Bradshawby K Shaffer,Depending on how the ASC site renders in your chosen macOS and browser
you can look into various previous posts and histories in a few different ways.
Roy Bradshaw - Content, if you choose Authored: (link detail obscured by name)
Roy Bradshaw - Authored (by use name, available if logged in) from this, where
the link I used is obscured by name, Authored vs Participated brings up other.
Roy Bradshaw - Participated. Some of these can be used if you know the user
name, for offline or not logged in search for the content. Otherwise a prompt
appears to say content access is denied, unless you login.
https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?q=Roy+Bradshaw 'space search' by
date or various parameters you can set. I've found to shift between timeline is
a way to reveal more/or less. Some items from quite some time ago are missing.
Other items not so long ago are too; perhaps edited away, or if a thread was
deleted and so was my reply to another user question, etc.
One can go back quite some time and vary the parameters (as I've done in my
search to see where posts or topics in my history have gone.)
Not sure if this helps at all, because some aspects of ASC and Jive vary in use
depending on browser and OS X version. At the moment, I'm looking & posting
from a Late 2005 G4 Mini 1.5GHz that runs Leopard 10.5.8; with TenFourFox.
Tweaks suggested to obtain better performance in these ASC discussion areas
may allow you to see a better history from your configuration. I've not tried those.
Good luck in any event!

Sep 25, 2016 12:00 PM in response to K Shafferby K Shaffer,Tried to edit yet again, when I found link to the User becomes generic
after it is published; some only are conditionally direct to content area
such as Authored (button in page is not carried into URL) so a default
to Author may be assumed when the User is logged in or other has
access to view these detailed views because they are logged in.
The mechanics of how these pages render (scroll bar changes and
boxes within boxes) makes for tedious effort to edit replies no matter
the macOS version. Two boxes on the web page, one inside another;
these never seem to align with the stars to make editing easy.
Anyway, I had sought to make an almost invisible change to first reply
and it seemed to work, then it didn't stick. But you can visit content
in your User in one way, logged-in, or see your history if not logged-in.
Same for most any other user, the 'Space Search' in People, helps.
Links to sub-sets of page renders do not appear to be retained in a
final post of URL, so your namesake is all that appeared instead of
the 'Authored' content column. Oh well.
Perhaps someone else has an easier way, or a jive-command backdoor
to access ones user content to get past foibles of web page constructs?
Good luck, in any event...! LOL

Sep 25, 2016 12:43 PM in response to K Shafferby Roy Bradshaw,★HelpfulThanks for the reply but it is a pity the original route called something like "My previous posts" isn't available. I am sure some of the discussions I found via your method aren't actually mine.
I had an answer to a question some time ago but failed to make a note and now have forgotten what to do.
I shall have to post the question again.

Sep 25, 2016 5:07 PM in response to Roy Bradshawby K Shaffer,Of course, when logged-in to your own ASC account a few more items
appear in Content menu, than Authored, Participated, & Following...
And when you use the 'space search' of a user name, (works even if you
are not logged-in, so also works with other users if you know their name)
you can view almost every item in the participation history of the account.
With exceptions I've noted earlier. Threads that were removed for reasons
such as one you may have replied to that were deleted by Hosts, if you
had a reply there, it would be gone. In some instances your records may
or may not reflect that outcome. Some of my first ones were deleted due
to the fact they were issues that Apple could not address, nor would the
Apple Discussions be able to resolve. Defective merchandise, for example.
If you try to find your history of participation using the search, and then be
careful how you choose to enter your name, you should gain access to much.
Anyway, I think the answer is in how you choose to use the search, from
my experiences; over time, the Apple discussions have changed a bit...
As I recollect, they were quite different when I became a member in 2003.
Good luck & happy trails!
