Call me stupid, but how do I find threads I have started? I was recently given some info about a trip, but can't find it.

Am I able to view this forum like any other? Like having different categories etc

Well it's official, I am stupid :(

I am used to the layout of other forums, having links to "View My Posts" etc.

I never dawned on me to search my own name.

Some computer batteries go flat and they lose their memory, if yours is an evaredy it may need replacment or at least a recharge if a bit flat.

I wish it was as easy as that, just plug in and recharge the old brain.

Don't beat yourself up mate- i'm on a few forums and this one is the hardest to navigate around by far.
I am still looking for the basic "new post" tab which brings up all the new posts since i last was online- I dont think this even has it!
And not having different categories is beyond belief. Why arent there categories you can click on to read posts about trips, accessories, 4WD mods, etc etc.
This is the only forum i have come across whis doesnt have sections of interest to brows thru.... rediculous.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one.

It is so much easier when there are separate categories, it makes finding posts a lot easier as well.
I would also like to see a "Show Replies to your Posts" feature, again it makes it very easy to keep track of things.

When I do a search for my posts, using the Sceen Name Search, type in Member - evaredy, it only comes up with this thread and nothing else.
If I do the same as above but use just evaredy, it comes up with another thread I started but not this one?

So the search feature is pretty useless, I cannot find threads that I have replied to.
