How do I see my older questions?

Asked by jlm11f (12413points) July 6th, 2008

I always thought I could see any of my old questions by just looking at my profile, but today I realized this isn’t the case anymore. I must have asked more than the page can handle since now some of my questions don’t show on the list (such as this one). So how do I go about finding my older questions? Edit – as in see them in “list” format.

PS – i know i can always “search” for them but that isn’t really efficient.

PnL its still in your external profile. Scroll down past your comments and then there they are. “Questions Asked.”

If you look at activity for you, you can also go back in history as long as you have not indicated “stop following this question” I think you can go back. That is

@ uber – no they aren’t! or at least i don’t see them. for example, click on the question i linked to in the details, and look at my external profile, do you still see that Q listed in my profile? i hope i am not going blind…..

@ Bri_L – my apologies, i edited the question when you were already composing. :( i knew about the activity following but i wanted to see all the questions listed on one page like they were before. i knew about checking history, but i am following tons of activity and that process would take forever.

@PnL uhhh glitch maybe? because all of my questions are there, but you are right, your question is clearly missing from that list. Send an email to the fluther gods and ask them about it.

I don’t think its a glitch per se because I checked AstroChuck’s profile (since i know he usually asks a bunch of interesting Qs) and his questions list is incomplete too. you just haven’t asked enough Qs to be affected. maybe it’s fluther gods way of telling us to stop asking Qs? jk. if no mod sees this Q, i will try the contact form. thanks for helping!

When I followed uberbatman’s suggestions it worked. The list was there. Maybe I have not asked enough. I am curious now.

El_Cadejo's avatar

PnL ive asked 27 more questions than you lol. Hmm after looking at it more closely a lot of mine are missing. It appears to be that it just shows your last 25 questions. And since your signature dish question predates the rest its not on the list. Though i really dont understand why the fluther gods have changed it to only display the past 25 instead of all of them.

uberbatman – ooooooh so you have! sorry, i didn’t actually go check your profile haha. yes, this seems to be a recent change then (because i could see them all before). i don’t like it, i want my old page back :(( does a little kid tantrum

El_Cadejo's avatar

lol dont be sorry, look at my first answer, i didnt even check my profile to see anything changed. but yes, i agree bring back all questions, paginate at least.

AstroChuck's avatar

PnL- First off, thanks for the interesting questions comment.
If you know what old question you asked you can search for it by using words you put in topics. Actually, any word you might have in your question (or the answers) would show up in a search. Of course that’s a pain in the ass, especially if it’s a common word. Also, that only works if you know the question you’re looking for.

El_Cadejo's avatar

@AstroChuck yea, thats all fine and dandy if im looking for one of my old questions, but say i really enjoy reading your questions, i cant look at anything older than the past 25 you asked.

sferik's avatar

Yeah, some users’ profile pages were getting really long so we changed it to only display the latest 25. It should be paginated. We’ll work on it.

jlm11f's avatar

thanks erik !!!

AC – i meant it completely :) and i know about the search option but i really wanted it all listed in a page. but now that erik has promised pagination…wooohoooo! and uber makes a good point, how will we stalk you without all your Qs listed? ;)

AstroChuck's avatar

You can search “AstroChuck” and scroll through the questions that say they were asked by me. That shouldn’t take too long said sarcastically).

If only you were around back in the olden days. You could go here:
http://iceberg.fluther.com/

..and see your profile from back then. Which would have shown your earlier questions. Then again, almost no one was on Fluther back then.

You can also get a sense of what “My Fluther” is going to be like by clicking “Your Fluther”, even if you don’t have access yet.

I just woke up and reloaded the page and it said (1 new comment for me) and I checked and now all the ones from today are gone. Granted, they were all from programin so maybe all the ones he sent were deleted.

jlm11f's avatar

programin got banned

Bri_L's avatar

as in from the site?

Bri_L's avatar

Ah, just curious.

AstroChuck's avatar

Hear that, O Holy Fluther founders? Profile pages should be “paginated.”
Amen.

sferik's avatar

We’re working on it. Your patience is graciously requested.
