    Is that available to people who aren't mods/subscribers? Plus it only tells you the last 500 posts which isn't of much help if you're looking for one of your very old posts.

    The Google workarounds thread might be of assistance.

    I tried clicking on my username to find my posts but couldn't get any further than "you're not allowed to access...." sorta thing!

    Didn't there used to be a click on thing "view your own posts" or am I imagining it????? :confused:

    Actualy, this is exactly what I get!

    "sudzs, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

    Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
    If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."

    WTF does that mean?!
