Hey guys :-)
I don`t know who else does it, but I go to the Community tab, click on the Search, type my user name, press Tab, press "U" (for UserName), press Tab and hit Enter (the Go button). That immediately brings up my posts in chronological order so I can follow what I`m posting to.

Why can`t that be programmed into the system and placed as a link on the "My Startup Nation" box? Yes, there are "my recent posts," all three of them... LOL! But it seems so easy, it`s a repetitive set of steps...how hard would it be?

Craig, your ability to use the keyboard impresses me! I don`t run across many people who know how to use accelerators... at least not to tab through a web site. Do you tend to use the keyboard accelerators a lot? I use the keyboard so much that it - apparently - amazes people that I can use a computer without relying on the mouse.

Easier still ... My SUN, View Profile, Green button that says "View all my Posts".

But I so beat you to this, because I asked Rich about it a long time ago. The answer has something to do with the programming of it ... which almost makes me think the entire concept of it is more complicated than it needs to be. (It`s a link, guys!)

brian, to manage expectations, shouldn`t you have said "june 2008"?

Rich don`t you mean



because the blow gets softened much better with a sickening amount of cheer.

I started with computers (PCs) when DOS 2.0 was released, and nobody`d heard of a mouse. Lotus 1-2-3 was the big deal, which used the slash, then first letters of each menu item for navigation. Then there was WordPerfect, with its function keys plus command key navigation.

Although I use a mouse, these days, old habits persist and I mostly use keyboard navigation. For anyone who types quickly, the keyboard is so much faster than a mouse that it`s not really a contest.

As for the "View all my Posts," I knew about that, but I don`t like using a mouse if I don`t have to. So, if we can look forward to this new capability in June 2009, that`ll be great!

I bookmarked the page that is the search results of my recent posts (or the same as hitting the green button in my profile).  I use this bookmark as my usual entry into SuN so that the first thing I see is the recent activity in threads of which I am part of.  It`s worked out well so far but it would be great to have it direct in the My Startup Nation tab that opens up.
