How to use forum question
What's the easiest way to find my own posts? I'm not seeing my Electrical post when I search on my userid, but I do see a post I started in Painting. If I click on my userid at the bottom of the page and try to view my posts, it tells me I'm not authorized. I've email cust service at doityourself.com, but they haven't replied.
Thanks,
Sam

Hello Sam,
If you click on your username at the top of the post, a box should open up where you can select "find posts by xxxx"

Sam,
Other than this thread, you have no other posts in the Electrical forum. You did, however, ask a question about 4-way switch wiring in the Lighting forum. Here is a direct link to that thread.

Thanks John and Greg,
When I click on STERRACINA at the top of the page, I see the line that states SEE ALL POSTS BY STERRACINA. If I click on that line I get:
sterracina, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Any idea what causes this. I've also done whole forum searches on my name and it does find an old post in Plumbing, but not this post or the one I have in Lighting.
Thanks for pointing me to that post.

I can't view prior posts either and I get exactly the same "you do not have permission" message. You wouldn't be using a Mac would you?
It's even worse, ever since they changed to the new forums format I cannot search individual forums. Safari and Firefox for Mac are missing search links that are available for IE on the PC. I complained to Admin once but they brushed it off as a problem on my end. Funny, all the other forums I visit don't have that problem.

IE is clearly the first priority here. If you're using anything else, you're kind of on your own. They try to make other browsers work, but are not always completely successful.

I'm using IBM-compatible computers. I've had the same trouble on Windows 98, XP and 2000. I emailed customer service about a month ago, but they never replied.

FWIW I get the exact same error. This feature used to work, but after a fairly recent upgrade of the forum software I started getting this error.
I also noticed that searching seems to be getting worse with the more recent releases - it wasn't great in the past, now I don't even try anymore...
