Is it really too much to ask to be able to see all of my own threads in one place?

I mean, seriously... you would think that at least one person working on V3 would think this might be a useful feature. Right now, if I go to my profile and keep clicking on "show more" under "activity," it only takes me as far as Jan. 2017, after which the "show more" option is no longer available. There is simply no way for me to see a list of all of the threads I have created (or for anyone else to see theirs, obviously), entailing, among many other things, that if, or rather when, I forget about one of my threads, chances are I'm never going to come across it again. Do the staff seriously not think that people might at times want to go through their past threads, for any number of reasons? It's not like this feature is terribly hard to implement - an equivalent of the "content" page on V2 would be perfectly adequate. Is something of this sort really too much to ask? It's essentially the equivalent of having a catalog for a library, as opposed to just throwing all of the books the library has in a gigantic pile, and telling everyone looking for a specific volume that "it's somewhere in there."

Edit: To clarify, the restriction isn't the Jan. 2017 date specifically, but rather that I can only click on "show more" so many times. So for people like me who have quite a few threads, it's impossible to see all of our older threads in one place.

Edit #2: If chess.com doesn't want to have a "content" page, a perhaps even simpler fix would just be to allow us to click on "show more" until all of our threads are shown... I mean, that solution sounds super obvious when I say it, right?

I thought you could remember everything. Have you checked thoroughly?

I tried and can see every post I have made. (October 30, 2017 - Present)

"I saw the title. I was vaguely interested. 

I saw who posted it. I was hooked. 

I saw it was not a troll thread. (Or at least not a very obi ours one). I was disappointed. 

I expected better Macer. I expected better."

That's because you haven't exceeded the number of threads that the page will show. If you keep creating more threads, one day you will encounter the same issue, if chess.com doesn't fix it.

Exactly my issue too 😪

e.g. I want to laugh at my English from 5+ years ago, but now I can't...

THANK YOU!!!!! Someone gets it!

I tried looking at the profile of another member who has been around for a while, and posted quite a few threads (Fabelhaft, specifically), and encountered the same issue. Yet curiously, I also tried Daniel Rensch's page (https://www.chess.com/member/danielrensch), and had no problem clicking on "More" as many times as I liked. I don't see why chess.com can't allow the same for non-staff members. 

Who would have guessed, when I started my campaign to become a chess.com staff member, that one day I would have to depend on the success of the campaign just to see my own threads?

Yes.  You should ask for less.

This has been said soooo many times I hoped they would take note...However, I knew I should not expect people to behave rationally (and that includes chess.com staff) so hat's why I took screenshots of the content section in V2, so at least now I can search by title.

You can see all your threads in one place.

That shows all the threads you've commented in, not just the threads you started.

Now 'My Topics' is a place that shows all the threads you've started. Though, it would be cool if you could have other members' threads in one place instead of using "show more."

 Where does it say "show more"?
