I wanted to look for a question I asked on biostars months or years ago, so I tried the 'My posts' tab... But it seems that my own questions are buried under pages of comments or answers to other's questions and I didn't find a way to filter these out.
Sorry if this sounds silly, but is it possible to do that without manually browsing all the pages ?
Thx,
Carlo

You should use google to do an external search (with your user name in search) and limit it to site:biostars.org. Biostars seems to arbitrarily keep track on only a couple of days worth of previous Messages for a logged in user (I use an external log in and not a local biostars account so not sure if that has anything to do with this).
I agree with Google. I typically search for 'biostars [your name] [keywords]'
I also bookmark some of my own posts that are already accepted as answers / upvoted that I feel will be re-used.
Biostars seems to arbitrarily keep track on only a couple of days worth of previous posts/answers/votes etc
That's weird... it should be linked to your external log because I have access to all my post since I joined 2.2 years ago. The issue for me is to isolate my own questions from my posts on other people's questions.
I see now. Anyway, google did the trick, thank you both !
