Accessing old threads and posts

[Jon & Ygritte 178]

Sorry if this has been asked before. How do I access a poster's old threads and posts? I can only find the most recent ones on the user's profile. How far back can you read someone's posts?

 

Thank you in advance.

Go to the user's profile, then click on "See their activity" -- a grey button in the upper right third of the page. That should show you everything.

 

I just tried it on your profile and it worked, and then on mine as well to see if it went back to my very first post. And it did!

Thanks, but as far as I can see not all posts are shown that way. I'm looking at the posts of a poster - LionessDeon - and her posts only go back to February 20, 2019. But I'm also looking at a thread in 2016 where she replied. It would also be nice to see threads posters have posted. Is that not possible on VJ? And is there a cutoff of how far back you can read a posters' posts_

Hmmmmm, let me see if I can do it for someone who has been on here longer than me. I will report back. 

 

Found it! Okay, do exactly what I said before but add one step to the end:

 

On the left hand side of the screen, you will see a list of options: All Activity, Profiles, Status Updates, etc.

Choose "Posts" -- it is under Forums and Topics.

I just went to the profile of a user who has been on here since 2006 and I found his posts from way back then.

 

Hope this helps!
