It seems that the link to find all of my own posts has disappeared from the list under my profile. Did it get completely removed or did it move someplace else?
I have been looking and can't find it.
Thanks
I already tried using the search feature and it just shows me the thread that I have posts in - it will not take me to my last post...
Finally a question on XDA I can actually answer! Click on your own name above one of the posts, then click on the "Statistics" tab next to "Visitor Messages." There should be an option to view all of your posts, starting with the most recent.
click your name where it says "Welcome, brynwall", then click on the statistics tab, then click on "Find all posts by brynwall"
awh man he beat me..
or try this
I use the the quick links on top right of the screen, then click subscribed threads, it will show if any new posts have been added,
FYI you are automatically subscribed if you reply to a thread or you can just add the thread by going to thread tools...
Awesome! Thanks guys! lol I was going insane trying to find my last posts.
It's funny because you use to be able to access all your posts from User CP tab as well, but right now I can't anymore. Strange but not a problem because I always knew about the many other ways of finding my own posts. Just thought I would jump in here.

Yeah, that was the only way I knew how to do it, and it was there yesterday...
When I saw I can no longer find my own posts, I feared the worst Putting the option in "Statistics" is unintuative at my opinion.
Anyhow, will use it from now.
Thanks
Edited it on UserCP it isn't showing in the forums

Your signature looks fine to me
I am not even able to post a signature. Says I don't have access.

vBulletins Signature Cache is still buggy. Once you edit your signature, all of your NEW posts will have your signature in them.
All of your prior posts... you will have to "Advanced Edit" and check the "Show my Signature" checkbox.

there are certain limitations on junior member accounts to reduce the amount of spam in the forum
though I'm not familiar with any details posting urls is one of them and I would wager creating a sig is another
after a certain amount of posts that problem should resolve itself
cheers

Looks like I have some work to get to, hehe.
Yes, certain limitations are set in place against new users to combat spammers, including not being able to post urls or have a signature. I believe this restriction was removed once you reached 10 posts, so I would check this again and let me know if you still have restrictions in place
Im good now.
Excellent, glad to hear
Is there a way I can add my own signature on here? I heard that it is in USER CP but the option isnt there ...
Moderator Edit - Here's the answer from svetius

This was an effort to combat spam, and it's had a huge impact! You'll be upgraded to a full account after a certain number of posts (5 - 8 depending on the feature)--it happens automatically. Sorry for the inconvenience

It may take time after reaching the 5-8 post limit for it to allow you access, this is because the process runs in the background.
And when you have enough posts, you can edit your Signature in the UserCP (on the left hand side called "Edit Signature").
Or just click here : Edit Signature

People / Bots were Posting generic messages, like "Thanks this is great" or in some cases, actual responses based on words in a thread. The post it's self was not spam (although pretty pointless), but the users signature would contain 3-4 links to an online company of varying levels of trustworthiness.
We used to find one or two of these bad boys a day. Because they didn't create new threads, nor did they make it obvious to the casual observer, they were getting away with it.
I have not seen one of the so called "signature spammers" since the rules were put in place.
Dave
I had the same question...this is an excellent way to manage spam users. Good job, looking forward to delving more into this forum and getting a signature!
I was a bit upset at not being able to have a signature. Thanks Daveshaw for explaining. Its indeed a great way to stop spammers.

You should be all set now, check your User Control Panel
finally i found the way!!!thank you
At last I found out why I cant use signature.
I will be using the "search" more.
ah so
so that's why I couldn't see it, cant wait to unlock my sig status
Ya the post limit thing when you start a new account is a good idea to keep the spam to nothing..
Been readying these forums for a while now and finally signed up and that was the first thing I went to go do so I could edit mine to say phone type and what rom and all that nifty stuff nice t see I'm not going crazy and it really wasn't there lol

I like and dislike the idea.
I just logged into my account to make post (have like none) so am sorta spamming to be able to post solutions to android revolution HD. /sarcasm. My post aren't spam but i'm going to get 8 before midnight tonight!
I can see how it helps, but jeez. Couldnt post in the developer forum for the audio fix solution I made.

But you could post it in General, and then help a few people out while you were there, in Q&A, if your device has one. Don't bother with useless posts, they will be deleted and you'll never get to 10.

Well, you might be right but its not that easy. You know I have experience in those stuff in the development forum, but I have no way to make posts there.
I dont wanna be a sort of spammer by posting stupid stuff to get all the 10 posts.
But this 10 post rule leaves no other way to accomplish...
To find a topic that I can make a useful post takes a lot of time.
If you can't spend the time to make ten legitimate posts before posting in the dev fora, then you don't deserve to post there. This is a developer forum, not a support website.

Oh really? I was a clueless noob total non-developer when I came here and I had no trouble at all helping people who needed links or a little guidance where to find the information they need. XDA works because people help those who help themselves. Do not post useless posts, they will be removed and you'll never get to 10.
Why did this thread get unlocked? Now it's more noobs that can't read and just complain again.

I requested that it remain open. I've helped out others with legitimate issues before here. Also, leaving it open allows mods to track spammers easily.
I'm probably missing something here, but: Is there a way to remove a closed poll in one of my threads, so that I can create another one, when needed? I looked under the thread options, as well as the options in the OP (Advanced Edit mode), but could not find any way to do this.
Thread in question is in my signature.
No but admin can, if want to link the thread here I'll pass across, or send a PM.
You can also make requests like that here for fast responses

Nope, once you created, and closed a poll, only mods/admins can do the stuff your asking about

...and posted a formal request in the above linked thread.
I'm wondering if it is possible to view a list of all the posts I have thanked. I looked around in my profile and it appears that I can only view thanked posts that other people have given to me. Instead, I want to see a list of all the thanks I have given out. I want to do this because a lot of the posts I thank have very useful information and I would like to view them later for future reference. Is this possible?

Is it possible to add this feature in the future? Up until now I had been using thanks kind of like bookmarks for posts that had useful information. I didn't realize I couldn't go back to them easily though.
Site admin needs to install newer version of Thank You plugin
Same discussion on Maemo forum got someone to find how to do this: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=171347&postcount=20
But this has to be done by the forum administrators by installing a newer version (7.2 or above) of "Post Thank You Hack" that gives the Thank You functionality to vBulletin: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122944
Admins, This is a very good-to-have feature. Could you please upgrade the Thank You hack to 7.2 or above?

This would be pretty awesome if the admins if could enable it.
yes that would be useful.
Someone said this command would work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/post_thanks.php?do=findthanks_user_gave&u=<uid>
but guess it only works if the forum has the right plugin.

I thought that plugin allows users to see the thanks they gave. Apparently, it doesn't.
Anyways, please address the main point of this thread - ability to see the posts thanked BY us.
I'd like to do this also, really wanted to see a specific post I thanked and it is lost in hundreds of pages
