Accessing my older comments

jrich75

Until recently, I was able to review and reference my previous discussion comments by clicking on Comments under my profile.  Now when I do so, I get one page of comments going back to just August 30.  Clicking on More Comments used to bring up sequential pages of comments going back to earlier dates.  Now it just brings up the same comments that were displayed in the initial page (back to August 30).   I get multiple pages of the same group of comments.  I've tried logging out and back in but that doesn't help.
Is there another way to review an individuals past comments?

Good catch. This sure looks like a forum bug. I have flagged it for the moderators.

A work around is to use the search engine:

You can access these old comments as follows:

1. Display the first "page" of comments as usual.
2. Right click on the "More Comments" link to call up the browser context menu.
3. Select "Copy link address" (Chrome) OR "Copy link" (Safari).
4. In a new browser window or tab, paste that link address.
5. Type in numbers like 30, 60, 90, ...
6. Press Return.

Example link address just before pressing Return:

https://community.quicken.com/profile/comments/lhossus?page=30

Disclaimer:
The numbers like 30, 60, 90, ... seem to be the correct values with no overlap or duplication. But I have not done exhaustive testing, so use at your own risk.

Thanks to all.  The search work around may actually be quicker than browsing through pages of random comments.

Yes, the bug seems to be Vanilla is omitting the page number, so the URL looks like
