First off I love the new forum so far. Only glitch is I can't find threads I started. Old forum there was a link "threads I started" or something like that on my profile page. Am I just missing it somewhere?

Found it although it doesn't list anything from the old forum yet. I assume it will be updated. Thanks.
Updated about an hour ago....SEARCH should be working (SHOULD!)
On a similar note, when the XF forum was in beta, I could see a mini avatar next to threads I participated in. Now that mini avatar is gone from the forum pages. On the old forum software there was a little indicator next to thread names that indicated you had participated in that thread discussion. Any chance of turning that feature back on?
[edit: its showing up on some but not all threads that I have participated in. For instance, I can now see my mini avatar next to this thread heading but not ones from "before XF", I'm guessing.]

correct, the "pre-xf" threads did not update with the mini-av...hmmm...unsure if that's an update-abie option or not...
not a huge deal. I'm enjoying the new nav tools and alerts.
Where did you find it??? I stumbled on it a few days back but now that I need to find threads I started i can't seem to locate the magic button.
Profile Page > Postings tab
yea....it's not ideal...it won't be until it's part of the core

I tried this way to find a thread I started back ~2006. I could not remember Title. I could only get results back to ~2013...
Then use the Search....click the "more" link at the bottom for additional options, and narrow it by date.

I only see the "Newer Than" option there?
I don't see any option to refine search to threads I started...
Search returns 10 pages which does not get me out of 2014.
I must be doing it wrong...

Thanks. The old search option of 'Threads Started By' was handy...
so, I click my mouse cursor into the search box...and I see "more" at the bottom...and I see a down arrow to the right of that...and mouse over that...and one of the 4 options is "your threads"...so i select that...and get 6 pages of threads I started back to 2010...selecting page 6 and scrolling down, I see the option "find older messages"...select that, and it grows to 10 pages and back to 2008...I can then select "find older messages" from the last page, and the list grows AGAIN back to 2006...so, I select "find older messages" yet again from the last page of the search results, and AGAIN, more messages appear...now back to 2005...
and so on, and so on...lol
Hope that helps

That is awesome info - I never noticed the down arrow in the bottom right of the Search box.
Interesting observation - when I try this method and select "Your Threads", I get "No Results Found"
:-(
