Finding your question

[ShellyK]

I can never find my question once I post it. Is there somewhere on the
interface where I can click like, "My Questions" and find them? I get the
email responces stating that I have a responce to my question but when I
clicked on the links it opened a blank page and would not load the web site.
Please help.

link it is blank. In addtion, I am not finding my name on the right side of
the post. Where exactly is it. It might depend on how you have all the
boxes set up. Please be more detailed. Thanks.

If at all possible, you may want to stop using the web interface.

If you click on the link I posted you will be directed the Shelly's question
and you will note 2 things. Her name on the top of the right panel and that
she has obviously followed that link because she has just posted a response.

If you are using the Microsoft Office Online forum use the search bar (just
above New Thread) and enter your username in there, you can search by
question category or simply select Excel to search them all. It will then
display all the questions you have posted and the up to date responses to
them.

Hope that helps.
