It used to be on the Dashboard and now it's gone. It was useful in many ways, because:

--One could look up certain answers they gave in a former thread. For example, I mentioned to a fellow dxper something I posted a few days ago and wanted to find it, but was unable to do so.

--One could search the posting history and the wisdom of people they like. I hope that you haven't been deleting all posts older than a couple of weeks, because they were what made dxpnet, dxpnet and what attracted new people to this place. I personally landed on dxp for the first time on an "older" thread.

While relevant links like "Posts", "Topics" and "Photos" have gone from "My dashboard", several other remained. They are pretty useless, apart from Settings. I hope that this is just a bleep in the process of improving this site, and many things we could do in the not so distant past (like changing our avatars or reading older posts) will come back.

I don't think my Dashboard is an exception. This it how it looks now:

All you do is click on their user name to see it. You can click on your own as well to see your previous posts.

Thank you. It worked. One thing wrong tho. You can't see any of your recent comments you posted on the front page anymore. Shouldn't that be under "post"?

Your comments are in a different place. It's on the "Dashboard" section to the right. (See Udines screen shot that she posted for clarification)

No no I'm talking about comments you posted on others comment box. Not the comments started by the op.

Edit: op meaning you, yourself. Not the comments we started.

I can see now where the "posts" are, thank you!

Unfortunately, they appear to be limited to the most recent ones, for everyone I looked up. Does it mean the dxpnet has now a searchable history spanning only a few days? Lame and poor.

Strange! It was there a couple of days ago.

How will I delete the stuff I regret posting?!

You have to report yourself first, then the delete button is there! Hahaha!

Just dumb, I found out by posting a gif that just came out in coding and I had to click everywhere just to figure out how to delete it.

It gives me 17 days of comments and few posts from the past..

I get bored easily, so I rarely get past the first few posts of most people. I do it just to catch up with certain people within the last 24 hours or so 😅 So I'm not sure about how far it goes back.

Also Comment history is gone. I mean as a general thread. I can see only comments which were posted 24 hours earlier. I cannot scroll deeper.
