Just click on „Posts” in the sidebar.
Did you try to create a new page menu item with the List of Posts by a Certain User as page link? As I do not have a installed version of WoltLab Suite Forum currently I can not say if this works properly as the id of the current user must be automatically resolved by the system.
Fighter456, that's exactly what I want, but I looked before and just looked again and there is no option for "List of posts by a certain user" in the dropdown menu for pages in the Menu section.
The only options I could find are for albums/pictures as shown here, not posts:
Some pages cannot be added to the menu, because their actual URL is dynamic and cannot be statically provided. The post list is controlled by an user id parameter that accepts any user, not just the current user.
Also your own profile contains a link to the post list too, the things displayed in the message sidebar can also be found in the user profile header.

I don't really understand that Alexander, if I am honest, that's beyond my technical knowledge which is pretty much non-existent. But how can similar pages like "List of images by a certain user" be displayed in the menu, but not a similar function for posts?
This is a very basic feature of all forums, I am very surprised Woltlab does not have it. If I re-post this in the suggestion forum, would you consider it as a possibility for adding in a later upgrade of the software?
thanks.

The link will be the same for everyone, regardless of whoever accesses the menu. This is different to the post list, which shows the list of posts for a particular user, but you don't want every user to see the same list, but every user to see their own list. And this is where things get tricky, because the parameters can no longer be determined ahead of time and there is currently no sub-feature that indicates such a functionality. This is a limitation of the page/menu system that only allows for (somewhat) static links.

Basic yes, but of limited use. That's usually not a link one would access on regular terms, which is why it was placed in a more context-sensitive manner at various different places. This is similar to the members list, which becomes almost useless on large forums due to the high amount of users, making the search a much better approach.

Such a link would require a substantial change to the inner workings of the page/menu system, which means it would earliest arrive with 3.2/5.2 due to stability guidelines.
It would be much easier to ask a plugin author to craft you a tiny plugin that ships with a custom page that does nothing but redirect to the user's own post list. This pretty much avoids the whole issue because the link to that page is static, but the result is determined by the custom page on runtime, which doesn't bother the menu system at all.
Alexander Ebert it is not possible for the list of image, article, post , blog to put a negative value to object id people and if it is a negative value in id the current user is use for the menu use ....
I have just created a small plugin for this functionality. Will publish this tomorrow as a free product in the plugin store.
Feel free to contact me by conversation to get this package before it's available over the plugin store.
Wow Fighter 456 let me add my thanks to that, and my agreement that this is too basic a function to be without! THANK YOU!
That was one oopular feature from vB3. MyBB 1.6 adopted it too.
But Woltlab consider it "of limited use" and thus it's not available in the core. Bizarre.
It's in the core for XF/XF2 and IPB too...Go figure.
These are not five minutes of work and in total under 100 lines of PHP code inclusive comments.
The file has been uploaded yesterday in the late evening into the plugin store. After a review through WoltLab it will be available for everyone.
Thank you for this Fighter456
