Search my posts in a thread?

[nickthetasmaniac]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there is a way to search a specific thread for all of my posts? I'd like a quick way to see which images I've posted previously, without searching page by page.

This is easy on the other forums I belong to, but I can't find a way to do it on the new RFF... I can see how to do a search by sub-forum, but not thread.

Any advice?

Thanks, Nick

I've also been looking for a way to do that, for the same reason. No luck, but agree it would be a valuable feature.

I agree - it used to be there but doesn't seem to be now. One use is that it allows you to to check what you posted so you don't duplicate a posted image

I don't see this option either. I tried looking in the advanced search area but nothing works that I tried.

The only quick and dirty way I see for now is to click on the "PHOTOS" tab at the top of the particular thread you are interested in and look through all the images for yours. I know, it can be cumbersome for a large thread.

I'm not sure if images in older threads initiated on the old RFF are carried forward and archived in the same thread on the new site. I could be wrong though.

The ‘photos’ tab doesn’t seem to work for me. For instance, if I search this thread for photos, only two photos show up, despite there obviously being many more...

You are right. I got the same result. Something appears to be broken.

I wonder if you could add the same distinctive tag when you post a photo and then filter by tag.

You could scan all your posted pictures: My Profile > Find all posts > Click you name in any post > Media > Filter > Any Time > Click thumbnail

I think after you go there the first time you could bookmark this URL.
