I find it very hard to find my own post and the responses
in this forum. Am I missing something or is there really
no way to find your own posts or at least search for
posts of a specific author?

Obviously, no-one feels responsible either.
When compared to forums for other programs and languages, nearly all
other forums I have seen actually, the Ruby forums are, well, how to put
this, not really optimal, I am afraid.

Yup, it seems that way. I’ve tried to think of a common feature of our
posts…
was the post that vanished the first post you made after registering.
If so: Had you shut down your browser after registering, and before
posting?

No … the problem is not that my post vanished, but that there is no
way to search the forums properly.

Hi Roman,
It seems that Google groups is probably the preferred way to access the
Ruby list.
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby
Not sure if there are Google groups for all the forums.

Thanks, that is a great tip!
What is still nagging me though: how could I find out that my user id is
861, unless I asked here and were lucky to find you to tell me?
And how can a user find out in general that such a search option exists?
Is this documented anywhere?
My point being that it is great that I am happy now, but how can others
with the same problem figure this out?

I believe you:
Click on the “User List” link at the top and bottom of the forum
Then match your username with a user id
then search user_id:

I agree: this should get added to the search help page 
The users aren’t sorted… do I have to click through 699 pages to find
my username?
Why in the world is this so hard!!!
“My Posts” should just be a link!!!
I think you can find it under “user settings” from the top menu, then
below you can see “Topics with my posts”, just click it and it will show
all your post.
