Really sorry if this is a stupid question but can never find my own posts!

Hello Mumsnet HQ,

Am I doing something wrong or have I got some sort of virus?

I can’t find my own posts when I post in a long thread, and I’ve never had this issue before until recently.

It used to be that you posted and then your post would pop up as first in your feed, swiftly followed by subsequent posts from other contributors. (I have opted for “newest first” in my settings, also compact view, and I have premium membership.)

So I search up and down the thread to see where my post and the responses to it are! Then I try and flip and unflip the thread and sometimes that works but sometimes I have to scroll right through the thread to the foot of the page to find it.

It’s making it really difficult to follow a thread and is putting me off using the site tbh.

Is this my mistake? I am not particularly good with tech and so could be doing something really stupid! Or is this a settings issue? Or is it some sort of virus or glitch?

Thanks very much in advance for any help or advice!

Try ‘I’m on’ or ‘threads I started’ at the top of the page

Go to advanced search and search for your username/s.

Easy!

Thanks for your replies! Apologies, I haven’t explained it very well!

Too late to edit but I meant I’m having difficulty finding my posts within a thread, not on the site as a whole. I can easily find the thread’s I’m on!

Sorry for the confusion!

When I post on a thread, the post would normally pop up on my screen as one of the “newest” posts and as such could be found very easily!

But now I post and it’s not there; it disappears! And I have to scroll down or up or flip or unflip the thread to find it! It’s strange!

Hi there @Theheattheflies788 . Glad to hear this glitch has been resolved. If it happens again do drop us another line with a link to one of the threads it's happening on and we'll take a look.
