You can also find the topics you've started on a particular board by clicking on 'started by' which puts posters names in alphabetical order (stickied topics first in alpha order and then all the rest in alpha order).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I think we're all agreed that I can't do it!!

So now we're all agreed that I can do it - but not easily!

The methods you have given are fine for my 200 or so posts.  Not so sure about your 10000+ - each

Thanks for your help everyone

where it says on the top of the page welcome back danuslave. Try clicking on see  Show new replies to your posts and see if that works. If it does you should see all the post you started,I think :-\

You can also find the topics you've started on a particular board by clicking on 'started by' which puts posters names in alphabetical order (stickied topics first in alpha order and then all the rest in alpha order).

That seems to be the best method, especially if you started a topic a couple of years ago.  The only problem I find is that I want to find a page with Rootschatters names starting with L and there doesn't seem to be a quick way of going to, the middle number of topics.  For instance if there are 168 pages of topics, you can click on pages 1, 2, 3 and then there are lots of ................ then 168, so the only way I can think to do it is click on Page 3, then I've got an option of clicking on pages 4-6 or similar, so I click on the last number and keep going like that until I get to the page with my name on.  Is there a way of just going straight to say page 57?

Is there any way that I can find topics that I started, rather than all the topics I have posted on?

I'm trying to be tidy (not like me at all) and mark up anything that is completed.

Thanks
Linda

Easiest way I have found is to do it via my email programme.

When you get a rely to a post you get an email to tell you theres a reply - I always save the first reply in a Folder on my email  (I called  it very obvious name - "My Rootschat Posts"), then I can just go to the reply & click on it to get to my threads without having to search for them.
