# sorry to threadwaste
but I found a great way to find all your own old image posts:
Search the board, and put a unique part of your server address in the field.
*presto* All your old posts!

(i spent ages trying to make a pic, but hummus deficiency struck, sorry)

# whenever I know part of a URL
I search for that in preference to plain text... much better hitrate.

# while we're all here using google to search b3ta is very good too
simply include the word b3ta with your search term and you'll get loads of results, you'll have to go to the last page and click show all similar pages to get them all displayed.

Narrowing searches is perhaps my forte.

search 'b3ta your username' and you'll probably see a post you made a couple of days ago on there.
