Please, please, please for the love of Mike install a "show all posts" button in our profile. A lot of forums have that button and it makes it super easy to get back to a post you want to update. Quite frankly I loathe forums that don't have that feature, and as a consequence I don't visit them very often. Not if they're the type where I to spend more than a minute trying to figure out how to find a post I made last month or two years ago.
In lieu of a "show all posts" button in a users profile, some forums offer another option. They show your username down at the bottom of the forum index. So all you gotta do is click on your username to get to your post library. Simple and quick is what that cool option is all about. That's another great way to get to all of your posts. This website shows my username down at the index, but lo and behold the link is dead and therefore useless when it comes to finding old posts. Why?
A few administrators will come back and say, "Just subscribe to the thread." That's not good enough. Subscriptions are not where it's at. I know people who will post to a thread but then they'll forget to subscribe to it. Can you blame them? Life is full of distractions that come up from time to time.
Seriously, I'd visit this site more often (and others, too) if you made it a snap to find each and every post with one click of the mouse. Go ahead and respond to this post but if I up and drift away from the forum for a week or two I'll never find this thread again so I probrably won't be able to read your response, anyway.
