Answered: Why do I have to go looking for my own threads?

[Hoag]

Since some recent upgrades to ScubaBoard have taken place, I have noticed that if I want to see threads that I have started, I have to go looking for them in the actual place where they are posted. They do not show up in the "New Posts" areas. When I go to "What's New" > "New Posts" or to , "Forums" > "New Posts" my own threads do not appear.

I noticed this recently when I posted a trip report and again when I listed some items for sale in the Classified: Photography threads.

Is there a setting that was "reset" during one of the recent upgrades that suppresses seeing my own threads automatically in the "New Posts" section and if so, how do I put it back the way it was?

Thank you.

You can go to your profile to find all threads you've started, but if you go to the top and click on watched threads it should have you automatically watching threads that you've started and posted in, in order of most recent post.

About 5 minutes after I made this post, I realized that I had my filters set so that I would only see "Unread" threads. Once I de-selected that, the threads which I started have appeared. I have already reported my original post on this and asked the Mods to remove it since it is no longer valid.

But if they do that, then you won't be able to find this thread... I'm so confused.

One would think that I shouldn't have to "Search" for my own posts.

I found out what I had wrong in my filters, so the problem is resolved.

There is also the "Find Threads" menu entry (on my mobile phone) that sits right below the "New Posts" entry. By default find threads shows a list of threads that I have started.

I only know about this because every now and then I miss the new posts and hit find threads.
