    I'm almost certain this was raised in feedback before. But before you flame me I've checked the last 10 pages of feedback forum and I don't see it.

    I understand you can't do a search of PI forum but I'm open to be corrected.

    My question is it intended that PI replies can be seen in a users list of posts?
    I gave a reply to a post tonight (was a very helpful reply imo :)) and I searched my history and it's there.

    But I thought PI posts were excluded from this?
    And should they be? Like if I replied "I've that problem too OP...." for some thread, do posters realy want that in their history? I don't.
    I understand if I have a private issue I can go unreg in personal issues forum. So that's an obvious solution.

    Can someone answer though, are PI replies supposed to be seen someones history or not? Like 301 posters have viewed my profile and all can see my PI replies? Thanks and sorry if I've explained this badly.

    yeah your posts show up, I think you might be thinking of the fact (I think) that PI posts don't show up in searches. But they do for a "find all posts by..."

    thanks tbh, you've explained it perfectly.

    My OP is a little long-winded

    Lol...

    yep, what tbh said... ALL your posts/threads show up in your profile under Find all posts/threads profile and that also means your PI posts show up...

    They don't show up for me. When I click "show all post by..." on your profile, and posts made in either PI or the LGB forum, don't show up. If you want to see the threads you've replied to, click on User CP.

    I thought this too but PI posts do turn up in general searches.

    We're all in different user groupings, for your normal user who isn't a subscriber or a moderator, they don't show up.

    If you don't want people finding out info about you on PI why not just post as unregistered?
