When i try ADVANCED SEARCH and it gets to CHOOSE MEMBER NAME, I would think that I could simply type my name...But NO, it comes up with a page of 'faces' and what look like prisoners ID numbers! It CAN'T be all that complicated, right?

Thx, Chris. That got me to the list I wanted....Now please tell how to do it myself, a priori.
Search > Advanced search
Click on the "Choose Meneber Name" link
type in the name (even partial) that you are looking for in the "Filter" box
Press go
Select the member(s) you want
Click on Choose member
Select sort by option (I use date)
Click on search
Once your search is complete you can bookmark it and just keep going back to it and it will refresh.
Also if you add several members to it you can see them all at once. I bookmark it to keep track of my friends
Or
Just go to your name in a forum posting and click on it
Chris: Once I type my name in the FILTER BOX, I get a page with a tiny, generic pic. But it DOES have my name under it. But but: When I click on it.....nothing happens!
once you click in the middle of the box with your name under it it should highlight (go white) then select choose member button
Thx, Chris. I THINK I got it. After hitting SEARCH and nothing 'appears' to happen, I now see that i must 'scroll down'.
I may not fully understand the question, but if you are wanting your personal activity stream (your past posts on the forum) you just need to go to your avitar at the top of the page and when your username appears click on it. A list of your past posts will appear. Scroll down the posts until you find the one you are wanting and then click on it. I hope this is helpful. Bo

I just clicked on "Forums",which is located at the top of the "On line forum page",then go down the list until I came upon "Your Published Post",clicked on it,and all my post came up.You have to scroll down a little bit to see your post.
Bo: What's an "avitar"?
Bryan: Thanks; that's useful, but I'm not yet sure how much....Doesn't seem to appear in the desired 'reverse chronological' order.
Once you find one of your posts, just click on your name that appears under the silhouette, and all your posts will come up. An avatar is a picture of yourself and replaces the generic silhouette. You can add a face shot of yourself in your personal "profile" section.

Gotcha, Dennis. Thx. I, too, am retired, with one advantage over you: I don't have to WORK at it!
