Looking up my posts - Orchid Board

denvervet · #1 02-05-2012, 02:01 PM

Is there a way to look up my old posts? I had posted something entitled Dtps. Joy Green Bee and the search engine is not finding it, I would like to add to that post today, thanks!

On the menu bar at the top click 'search' then 'advanced search' then type your key words, and next to it put your user name and below that select 'find threads started by user'.

I don't really like the search bar on OB, not being able to search for 3 letter words or less really makes it hard to find things sometimes. I use google instead. What you do is type your keywords, followed by site:.orchidboard.com. It will only search in OB pages if you type that.

If you click on your name, then Statistics, then Find all Posts or Find all Threads, it will list all your posts ever, easier than searching, particularly if you can only remember a 3 letter keyword.

Incidentally, I think this is the thread you're looking for? Dtps. Joy Green Bee

Good to know how to do this.

@ Camille, I should have known you would come to my rescue! You always do and I appreciate it, wish you lived NEXT DOOR!

@Discus, well I will be darned! How cool is that? Thanks.

@Connie Star, sure is nice to know this stuff, saves a lot of time, someone went to amazing efforts to make this site so maneauvarable (sp?)....As soon as I get this mortgage modified I am going to start supporting them!

You're most welcome

Good luck with the mortgage. $9 a month isn't too bad, and it's tough to get an orchid at that price - but the brain trust here is worth at least that IMO.
