I hate this new system I cant seem to find my replies anymore any ideas

I think the short answer is - you can't anymore!!!

Thanks Kath what are they playing at I need to find something I posted

To find all your old threads go to the "advanced search" option on the left. Put your log in name into the author part and you should find your old threads again including ones you have posted on.

To find your log in name try accessing your account and it should show up there. In "My account" you can change your name in the "birth name" section instead rather that the "surname section".

All I can say is it worked for me earlier. Good luck :)

I don't know what they think they are doing to the site, but I'm logging off because although I thought this morning that I liked the new format, they have changed so much again that it's driving me mad.

thanks will try that,
Dont like this new format though

Loz,

I've tried that but it's come up with lots of threads with my name next to them, but they are not threads I've started or added to!!

well I got mine from october 2004
whats the good of that

Oh Dear

I also had trouble getting the advance search option to work looking for old threads. I tried using my maiden name, married name and also my nickname without success but then when I tried to log in to my account I found using my log in name worked and brought up all the old threads. My maiden name came up with someone elses threads as well. they certainly don't make it easy :(

Loz

I had old and new threads so i thought it had brought up all my posts.

Do you know Loz this would be funny if it wasnt so bad
Why dont they leave things alone
If its not broke dont fix it

It certainly seems to be a bind. So much easier with the "view your threads" option. I found an old thread where I complained about changes going on in 2004.

Thank you for this: I thought that all my replies etc. had been lost, until I tried the advice above. And it worked.
I wish Genes had put up a questionnaire before they settled on some of the new things on here. I am sure we could have made a better job of things, working with them.
We are financing this, after all, so why were we not consulted?
And WHY, when we pay to joiin, should we have all these blasted winking and flashing ads inflicted on us??
grrr
sorry, just cross.

and WHY in Heaven's name is my maiden name showing again after all this time??

Well, I've tried every variation I can think of and I've not had any result to try and find my threads, I think they've gone.

Ah well... craziness, on the brightside... we now have formatting on the lead post.
