How to share posts with others

How can I make my posts open to everyone? When I "search" for my log-in user name, nothing comes up. Would like to share and hear from others.

Hi amd6yr, well I can see your post.....

I'm not sure why you think others can't?

As I understand it our posts just appear in date order of first post then of latest reply. The little house icon on the left side of the header takes everyone there.

If you want to see just your own posts with replies click the face icon at far right of header.

Using our username in the search facility doesn't seem to find our posts, only those posts where our user name has been typed into the text itself ( so you should find this on search as I've used your name in my text). I think the search facility is therefore for content rather than usernames.

Thanks for the reply. I don't see the "face icon", and if I "search" for my log-in name of AMD6yr, it says there is nothing like that--- or something to that effect. So it must not find members' log-in names. I find it difficult and frustrating to try to navigate this site. For instance, how to locate any posts - old or new - from one individual - if nothing has been posted recently. Hope I can figure it out! The support from fellow "sufferers" is extremely helpful.

Maybe the site admin can help you. I don't tend to go looking for posts so couldn't tell you how lol. I know if you ' follow' someone you see all their posts.

Do you see a header bar with " home/posts/search/members/more"?

Click on " more" and I think you can message the admin from a link there. It does seem weird you don't have an icon link to your own user record. Is it via the pic you use? My link is the basic pink emoji style face I use.

Good luck!
