On my profile page there is a link to my posts, but if I want to find the topics that I have started (a much shorter list), I have to use the Advanced Search facility.
It would be nice to have a simple link in the user profile to find topics by the user.

But it should be disabled for user Sarathw's profile to not overload the servers.

There's also this view which is slightly more condensed, if that is helpful. (Still going through Advanced Search.)

Re: Finding My Own Topics
Greetings bhante,
If you click on someone's profile you can see their posts in reverse chronological order, but that probably isn't much help as it's not laid out by topic.
Another alternative, if you know keywords etc. is to use the Google Saffron Search Engine. This is my first port of call if I'm looking for specific topics I created in the past.
Metta,
Paul.
Unfortunately there's no parameters natively within the system which allow for that, any faster than the Advanced method you have defined.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 8:02 pm On my profile page there is a link to my posts, but if I want to find the topics that I have started (a much shorter list), I have to use the Advanced Search facility.

The almighty Sarath and his bandwidth-crushing post count.

I made myself a bookmark, which is even quicker than going to my profile.
