[SOLVED] Hello and where to find my posts?

redrobred · 12-19-2021, 05:26 AM

Hi there

I'm new to this forum (hi to all) and newish to linux.
Regarding this forum ... where does one find the posts they've made? I've looked everywhere ... is there not a section where a user can see all of their past posts?
Or a way to easily find them?

Thanks
R

Welcome.

On the right side of the screen there should be a section titled "My LQ" with a link to "My Posts".

thanks and ah I see now ... but it doesn't show all my posts that I submitted?
I submitted another a few days ago ... and another one a couple of minutes ago ... is there some delays in them showing up ... do they need approvals first before they show?

Possibly - sometimes new user's posts get moderated and need approval by a moderator before they appear. (And not all moderators listed on the site are still active, so that process can take a few days.)

I haven't seen the criteria for when a post goes into moderation queue stated anywhere - it might be related to having a URL in the post, but that's definitely not a hard rule since we often get batches of spammers registering and immediately posting their spam links without any sort of approval. :/

Okay thanks, I looked under my profile, couldn't find a link/section for "my threads/posts"
