So I'm asking this because I've manually checked though all the threads I can and I can't find where in the forums where someone may have replied to me.

Why am I asking? Well, it's basically impossible for me to check my forum replies at this point.

I assume there's some oversized forum blob that has yet to be jettisoned into an archive which is otherwise preventing the database from collating my recent replies.

Same story

1. forum replies handling only limited number of posts
https://www.gog.com/forum/myrecentposts
I agree it should be limitless, like in your case, if it is 2000 posts pls let me see history,
worry I will edit it? than editing should be limited to one week (solid history),
and invisible for first 60 seconds (grammar, links)

2. searching engines
your login plus site name:

https://www.google.com/search?q=Darvond+Gog.com
but I would try all searching engines that way
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines

3. https://www.gog.com/forum/general?search
try the exact word or sentence that you remember from a post you are looking for

interesting
any other options?

In a surprising statistical lottery, I found that neither Google nor DuckDuckGo lead to the source.

The replies page has not worked for me for months now, maybe longer. I got used to it. Then the purple dot decided to stay with me forever. I got used to that too.

That's the GOG way. Get used to it.

I mean, You've been here for a while, so searching for just your name is unlikely to show the one post you're actually looking for.

Do you know part of the content of the post? The name of someone you replied to with said post? Someone who replied to it?

Add those terms to hopefully get a more accurate response (perhaps even one that didn't appear at all before). Also use "site:www.gog.com/forum" (without quotation marks) as the last search term in order to limit the search to here (just adding "gog.com" doesn't).

It's about time GOG sincerely puts in the option, where upon a simple click of your own username, it will bring up all of your own posts. I can imagine many posts will get lost in the muck especially if it isn't popular enough to be cached by Google.

Yeah, that happened to me,some time ago when an arsewipe made a thread to have me banned. The thread was spammed into deletion after begging it's buddies to help delete the thread but the purple dot stayed for a month or so and it always just disappears,eventually.

You could try by googling: site:gog.com/forum/general darvond you can select a date range via Tools menu.

If you can't find it among the posts on the first pages of the forum, then odds are:
- Someone replied to you in a thread that has since been deleted.
- Someone replied to you in a game-specific subforum.
- Someone clicked the quote button in one of your posts in order to reply to the thread but then deleted the quote. You still get a purple dot for that. I've found the easiest way to get rid of the purple dot is to wait until you get a website notification (the bell button) such as you received a new PM or a game on your wishlist is on sale, then instead of clicking the notification, selecting "Clear all notifications". The purpñe dot us wiped out together with the other notifications.

Had that yesterday also. No matter how much I actually clicked on a thread in forum replies, the gogbear appeared. The dot was there even when the iron wheel was now gone from every thread. Thinking it was a db linking error, I manually went through every thread I'd been in, and then I found it, eventually.

The purple dot is kinda annoying for someone that can be a bit obsessive about details, at least I can't just leave it there. The worst thing about the whole thing is that a mod deleting a thread just makes it even worse.

Darvond I can help you Here's how to remove permanent forum reply notification

open your browser CONSOLE copy and paste this

angular.element(document.body).injector().get('menuNotificationsRepository').deleteAllNotifications();

should get rid of that F***ING purple dot.

This isn't about removing it, I already had that exact thread stickied.
How...the...

Well, it seems to have been what worked.
