Where's option to search for topics you posted in?

Previous topic - Next topic

In nearly all message boards I post in, I return several times a day to look for a response. This is usually simple: Click search, type in my user name and tell it to return results as topics instead of posts for the boards that don't only return them as topics. This board is strange because it appears to be the only board which has this functionality backwards. Instead of only retuning topics or having the option for both, this only offers results as posts. This is not useful because it does not show which post was replied to last and who made the reply. It also does not show you which has had the most recent activity (Normally arranged by the most recent post-activity). It only shows you YOUR posts, which probably didn't answer your question ;)

I tried replacing "posts" with "topics" in the URL but that didn't work. I then tried Google-ing for another Invision board which DID have the option and modified this forums URL and it does work.

"&highlite=" is there because it was a standard search with no search string. I thought it must be required because I tried just replacing "posts" with "topics" before however now when I replace "posts" with "topics" it does work. Either I Googled for nothing or it only works because of my recent query with those Googled results :D

Why not configure the board software like everyone else? ;)

Will these URLs work? They seem to be different each time I make them as if there is some temporary session ID. If that's the case, then creating a favorites or shortcut URL wouldn't help much :(

EDIT: Yep. The links stop working. Really sucks...
