How are you suposed to find old stuff in the forums?

[General_Durandal]

I'm looking for a trade post topic I started, and was surprised I couldn't just search my name to find it.

One way to deal with this kind of problem, is to allow us to sort our activity page by replies, or topics created.

That way I wouldn't have to read everything i've written since then, and click next page, and read everything, next page, repeat.

You can.

Go to your profile, hit my activity, and then topics.

It's so inconvenient though.

Would be cool if there was a recent posts, and a recent topics.

Recent posts would work like it does now,

but recent topics would only show the topics you started.

why is it on the left side?

the category pick for every other forum page is on the right side.

Well, at least I can do that.

Alright, thanks.

Now how do I find something in the forums by poster's name?

Like, i'm looking for a post by {name-of-user} in the forums, how would I find it if it's old?

You use the search function that's up in the top right corner and type in their name.  You'll have to sort through their post history though.

Unless you remember the post in question, then you can do a Google keyword search.  Something like warframe noamuth introduction.  That will take you directly to my introduction thread from....years ago.
