Where can I see posts created by me?

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around finding a convenient way to access posts created by a user on Discourse. AnkitJain wants to see topics and replies created by them on the main page. fzngagan provides URLs for topics (https://meta.discourse.org/u/<username>/activity/topics) and replies (https://meta.discourse.org/u/<username>/activity/replies), and later a relative URL for the activity section (/u/<username>/activity).

However, AnkitJain has trouble using the relative URL to add a custom menu component for the activity page. fzngagan suggests seeking help from the component’s page.

Dax proposes an alternative solution by adding a “My Posts” button to the top menu by enabling the posted entry in the site settings. AnkitJain questions whether using “MY ACTIVITY” link is a good practice, and dax advises against it when a default button is available, but recommends using it when adding a custom link or in topic guides.

The discussion concludes with AnkitJain thanking dax for their advice.

The part of the url after the main url should work I guess.

I tried. It’s not working. Using this m creating link- My activity in menu itself.

The URL is not working

You’ll need to read the component’s page and ask the question there.

However there is no need of a theme component, Discourse itself can create a “My Posts” button adding to the site setting top menu the posted entry:

Ohh, you are right.

But is it a good practice to use MY ACTIVITY link instead of posted?

Your advice please

It’s a good practice when you need to add a link to a custom code or to a topic (for example in a guide: “Go to your activity page to see X and Y…”), but if the button is already provided by default (it’s only disabled) why install a theme component that you don’t need?

You are awesome. Thanks
