Moderator Emeritus elbee Posted August 3, 2020 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hello I used to be able to type my SA screen name ("Elbee") in site's the search box and it would bring up links to everything I've ever posted / commented on. CWhen I do this search now, the only result that comes up is a mention of my screen name in someone else's post, nothing by me. I thought it might be due to a default search date range (and that I don't post much anymore) but when I expand the date range in the advanced search, it doesn't change the results. I just thought I would report this change in my user experience. Also, if I go to my provide and "view all activity" nothing comes up under the "all activity" tab. I have to click on the "topics" tab which brings up my original post, or "posts" tab to view all my posts. Thanks! Elbee My suggestions are not medical advice.

Moderator brassmonkey Posted August 3, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2020 @elbee Have you tried rolling the mouse over your name or avatar? This should bring up a popup window, at the bottom of the window is a link called "find content". Clicking that should bring up a list of all your posts. I just used your avatar above and it worked for me. Let us know. 20 years on Paxil starting at 20mg and working up to 40mg. Sept 2011 started 10% every 6 weeks taper (2.5% every week for 4 weeks then hold for 2 additional weeks), currently at 7.9mg. Oct 2011 CTed 15oz vodka a night, to only drinking 2 beers most nights, totally sober Feb 2013. Since I wrote this I have continued to decrease my dose by 10% every 6 weeks (2.5% every week for 4 weeks and then hold for an additional 2 weeks). I added in an extra 6 week hold when I hit 10mg to let things settle out even more. When I hit 3mgpw it became hard to split the drop into 4 parts so I switched to dropping 1mgpw (pill weight) every week for 3 weeks and then holding for another 3 weeks. The 3 + 3 schedule turned out to be too harsh so I cut back to dropping 1mgpw every 4 weeks which is working better. Final Dose 0.016mg. Current dose 0.000mg 04-15-2017 "It's also important not to become angry, no matter how difficult life is, because you can loose all hope if you can't laugh at yourself and at life in general."

I just used your avatar above and it worked for me. Let us know. Hi @brassmonkey yes, that works, thanks, but it only brings up recent content (there seems to be a default time frame), it does not bring up results of all content. 13 hours ago, ChessieCat said: And then click on Topics to find your Intro topic. Hi @ChessieCat yes that works too, thanks but why does the "all activity" tab not bring up all activity (forums, topics, posts)? I think perhaps "all activity" is limited to a certain time frame? If I click on "posts" I can see (what I think are) all my posts ever. But this content doesn't appear in the "All Activity" tab. My main point was that doing a search on my screen name ("Elbee") used to bring up all my content (so I thought), but it's clear to me now that it just brings up content that goes back within a limited time frame. Since I posted on this thread, this thread now comes up when I type my screen name into the search box. I tried adjusting the date range in the advanced search features but this didn't seem to have any effect (see attached). So let me ask this. If I want to see content I posted or commented on a year or two ago through a search, how would I access that? It appears to me the only way to view all content posted is the "posts" tab in the user profile? Thanks! My suggestions are not medical advice.
