Is there a way that I can search only for those posts that I originated? Need specific guidance and how to get to them.
Don't want to include those posts I responded to.

Try this link:
search.php?keywords=&terms=all&author=t ... mit=Search
I did a bit of trial and error using my own username, and got what I think you are looking for, in advanced search. Put in your username for "search by author", then select "Topic Titles Only" further down the search page.

^^^ Yes. For the finishing touch -
Return first: 0 characters of posts (shows all the characters in a post)
Why? In case of a long post, you'll see the whole thing.

Thank you for the replies. It is exactly what I was looking for and was able to find the specific post I was looking for. Good other history there also in my posts that I had forgotten about!

Also if you go to your profile there is a section on the right called "User Statistics" under that there is a link that says "Search user’s posts"

That would also list your comments, in additional to the topics you originated. OP only wanted to see the latter (originating posts). One would need to go to advanced search to filter the results by author, then by topic titles only.tomsense76 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 4:43 pm Also if you go to your profile there is a section on the right called "User Statistics" under that there is a link that says "Search user’s posts"

Ah that's fair. One could click the "Go to advanced search" from that page and tweak. Though maybe that is more complicated than just searching in the first place.cflannagan wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 4:49 pmThat would also list your comments, in additional to the topics you originated.
