There is a button "Show Own Posts" in Control Panel, but is it possible to add also "Show Own Topics" and "Show Own Attached Files"?.

It would be fairly slow as it would require in-direct referencing of data.

It can be displayed not automatically (when I visit my "Show Own..." page), but only after a button is pressed. That schould solve the problem with speed.

A slow query is a slow query and when you consider MySQL myISAM tables where a read lock is set on entire table, even a single slow query can make the entire forum slow down.

Is there any other way to make a displaying of own posts and topics faster?
Many forums (Invision Power Board for example) have this options and are not slow.

Well, you already have a way of displaying your own posts in FUDforum. The reason it is slow simply stems from that fact that some people have posted thousands of messages and no index will let you avoid the overhead of fetching that many entries. The real slowdown however, comes when you join this multi-thousand result set with another table multiplying the numbers of the affected rows.

Just a little mistake Smile

So, my users saying, that they do not use "Show Own Posts" often. Instead they requesting a "Show Own Topics and Files" feature. That should`t be to slow, don`t it?

Showing own files would actually be extremely slow, since the file table does not reference the user id, meaning that to get of list of attachments belong to a user you'd need to select all messages and then do a join of all these messages on the attachment table. As you can imagine this is by no means a "fast" query to execute.

As far as list of own topics, pretty much the same process except we replace the attachment table with the threads table.
