Click on your username next to a post of yours, or click Quick Links and choose My Profile.

From there you can do the search.

You can also do it manually from Search > Advanced Search.

There was a Members List link, but it was removed because people were using it as a scoreboard, iirc. :rolleyes:

The Members List was removed to improve forum performance. It required a lot of server resources that could be better used giving improved response time for other forum activity. Even though the Members List was interesting and useful for many members, the performance boost was a worthwhile benefit for all members. You can still go to any member's profile page by clicking on their user name, and you can go to your own with the Quick Links menu.
