I am trying to find one of my own threads, so I search under my statistics and click on threads started by me. I can view the first page, but nothing beyond that.

This is the pop-up message I get: Sorry - no matches or filtered words used in the search query. Please try some different terms.

Is there some other way I can access my threads?

I just tried using advanced search for your user name, threads started by you that contained the key word Kitty and found 82 threads, most of them about your Kitty Katty. Try the advanced search.

Maggie's suggestion is a good one, and should work, assuming you remember one of the words you used either in the thread title or the post.

The reason you don't see your threads past a page or so of history is that the site automatically archives older items to free up space. You can still get to those by doing an advanced search the way Maggie suggests, but doing a general search of all your threads back to the dawn of time will only return threads that have not yet been archived.

Actually, this is a glitch. We have been aware of it for some time but we were unable to tell what's causing it. The good news is, it comes and goes so, in a few days, you will probably be able to see past page two.

Thanks Marka, and everyone. I thought I had been able to view more than one page in the past! By then, though, I will have forgotten what I was looking for. Getting old.

This is how to find just your threads.......
1) Find search at top of page
2) once search pops down select "advanced search"
3) then "User Name:"
4)in "search options" section select date range. I usually select two week range but can be more or less
5) select "search now" at bottom of page to get your results.

This is how I keep track of threads I comment in.

Tip: Play around on the advanced search page to get different results with your name and/or a word/term you want.
