Is there any hope of getting a link in the site header to a list of topics I've posted on and/or started, whether there are new posts there or not?  Other forums have this functionality and it's really helpful.  Currently, unless there's an unread post or reply, it's cumbersome to retrace steps of topics I've engaged with.

If you just click on your nickname a drop down menu appears and one of the options is "Show Posts". I believe that'll accomplish what you want.

Hmm...  Sounds interesting but my nickname isn't active as a link or a dropdown  :dunno:

What happens when click on (or tap) your name, Gross Polluter? When I do that on my nickname (Jay Bee) I get options. Maybe you have to go to your profile.

That's strange.  Nothing happens for me, the name is just text on the page.  Listed below the name text, I have permanent links for "Show unread posts since last visit" and "Show new replies to your posts" but this isn't exactly what I need. 

Navigating through my profile it takes a few clicks to get to topics and the site is sort of sluggish to begin with so I'm wanting to minimize the number of clicks, if that makes sense.

Thanks, yes that's how it works for me.  Profile>Show Posts>Topics. 

What I was asking for is a link directly to the list of topics.  To me it would seem helpful :dunno:

And the link at the top left that reads "Show new replies to your posts"  that one doesn't work for your needs?

What I'm looking for is a quick way to get to all topics I've posted in or started, not just the ones with new replies or new posts.

Thanks again.  I'm looking for a list of the topics rather than all my posts but yeah I guess that's pretty close as from the list of posts I could click on the topic links. 

But this is really weird, I don't have those tabs across the top.  Looking at the preferences, I don't see any changes that would enable these features that you and Jay Bee mentioned...  Maybe my acct is somehow locked into a different version of the site??

You're not the only 1 , I don't have those tabs either.
Always a pain to go through the profile, show posts route

Good to know it's not the nut behind the wheel, at least in this case   :)

I have resorted to saving specific links and pasting it in another program I use for organized notes.
