How come there is no checking your old posts, reading erased threads, etc.?

[tom_mai78102]

Just a question: how do we check out those stuff in this forum?

Like you can't remember what post you just reply to, and you want to edit it. And you forgot what topic the thread is and you don't know what to do?

I was wondering if thehelper.net can have this option like Yahoo! Mail, which it can check out your old mails, see your already deleted mails, or sort them out, and stuff.

It could help out a lot of people (mostly beginners)if thehelper.net has these features.

Or something like: when clicking on your name with your post beside it, you can see your posts and threads by clicking on "find all posts with <name>/threads started by <name>". And finding your name is hard! How do "one" fix it?

subscribe to a thread, and you'll receive updates on threads you've spoken in or subcribed too (to check subcribed threads go to user cp and they will be just above your received rep)

But how do you subscribe it? I mean like, a link that can take you to a subscribed post.

But the true question remains: Where's the "reading deleted posts" feature?

 

[WastedSavior]

theres no reading deleted posts, a post or thread is deleted for a reason, if your post got deleted you got into trouble, and if you delete your own post you shoulda thought twice about that (you can, in user cp under edit options, scroll down till it talks about subscribing, then decide if you want to subscribe, subscribe with emails daily or weekly, or no subscription, id suggest subscribe with no email notification, too many emails!

Or this...

How about this:

When clicking on your name with your post beside it, you can see your posts and threads by clicking on "find all posts with <name>/threads started by <name>". And finding your name is hard! How do "one" fix it?

I thought those "subscriptions" meant advertisement or something

 

[WastedSavior]

i did that when i first got here, before i discovered what i just said to you, using subscriptions, if you set in options, that you want to subscribe, any thread you post in will be added to your subscriptions, which i mentioned early you can find simply by clicking on "user cp"

if you mean you want to find ONE single post you've posted before, then i dont know what to tell you.. spend the 10 minutes to go through the few posts in every thread you've posted in..?

Edit: Please dont double post, you should know that from reading the forum rules, on another note! subscription will inform you if anyone else has posted in the thread

 

[tom_mai78102]

No, I didn't mean that. All I was saying is that you want to edit your post, but you forgot your post's title, the thread's name...all those stuff is what I meant.
It could be easy enough if they can add the "find all your post/threads" in the user cp place. You know what I'm saying, don't you? It's time consuming.

Thanks for the subscription info, I need that and this: :banghead: .

Edit: I know that, I just figure you would answer quickly, so....

You can click on your name in any of your posts, and use "find all posts by".

Or use the "Quick links", go to "My Profile", and use the "find all posts" link there.

Or do a forum search. With your name for example.

Thanks a lot!
