Its not that i'm looking for posts by other users but I keep track of the threads i'm posting in by just clicking on my username and bringing up a list of all the threads i've started, or posts i've made. Is there a way to turn this feature on for my account, even if its just so I can search my own previous posts?

I remember having the facility when I first joined, but it got turned off soon thereafter. All I get now is a page telling me I don't have permission to use this facility.

Also, as a side, how do I change my avatar picture to my own personal picture. I seem to be only able to use one of the pre-defined avatar pictures.

It was too much of a load on the server and killing boards. It is being worked on at the moment and I think we'll see it return at some stage.:)

Yeah, thats also a reason why I liked it, when buying items off adverts there's no way of actually checking the person you're buying from, whether people have complained about him before.
