Confused
Im really confused about where i last posted something , @AffyAvo
if thats your name , could you tell me how to get to the previous place you posted
@Cottontree29871 It's here: Can't Browse Listeners?
Go here to see all the threads you started in the forum. To find that page without the link, click your own profile picture at the top right of the web page, then choose My Forum Threads from the menu.

Thanks , even for this post i was took so long to find it, i realised that i can now browse listeners , i dont know if you are in charge of this but thank you so much for that
however, i cant find my previous listeners there , all of them , i tried typing out their names but they all dont show up , not even one of them
@Cottontree29871 You are very welcome 
No, I am not in charge of anything here.
To find a listener if you know their exact name, you can go directly to their profile. For example, you can go directly to 7cups.com/@RarelyCharlie to see my profile. Replace my name with another listener's name, and you can find any listener.
However, listeners often leave, go on a break, or get banned. If any of those things happen you might not be able to find their profile.
If you don't know the exact name or anything you can search for, not even in the forum, then there is no way that I know of to find a listener.

@Cottontree29871 Your previous listeners with active profiles should appear here https://www.7cups.com/member/growthProgress.php. If you blocked them or they blocked you they won't appear there though.
@AffyAvo
oh no , i talked to them before but on a previous account , but i couldnt log back in when i get logged out at times and it would say that my password is incorrect
@Cottontree29871 Were you a teen at the time you used the other account?
@AffyAvo
no
@Cottontree29871 Sounds like it's just a case of a lot of people deactivating or otherwise becoming inactive, as long as you're using the correct URL for their profile. You can see a profile even without an account on 7 Cups.
@AffyAvo
whats the difference between a deactivated account and an inactive account ?
@Cottontree29871 Sorry, the terms I used are confusing . A listener can choose to deactivate their account - whether for a break or if they are leaving permanently and don't want to have their account up anymore. Admins can also do this, I think the site does it automatically sometimes if a listener is behaving badly and has reports. All of these acocunts I think as being inactive.
Sometimes when trying to access an account this message will appear:
On Break
This user is currently on break. You can view our directory of active listeners here.
Other times it is this:
Item Removed
The content you're attempting to access has been removed.
My guess is anytime a listener sets their account to a break the first message appears, beyond that I'm not certain what the criteria is for which message.
Also Confused. Is anyone else a little confused about the hour tracking? I get how it works but I am doing this as a part of an hourly requirement, so it is throwing me off a bit that you don't get any credit for a chat unless you type in 30 seperate entries. Just thinking out loud. 
@Perkistine This thread is about finding posts in the forum and listeners, so I think changing the subject to hour tracking is confusing in itself. Listeners have a Questions & Feedback area for asking questions about listening. You could create a new thread there, or you could post in an existing thread about hours.
To answer your question, yes I'm confused too. I don't even get how it works. But as far as I know it's true that you only get hours based on "chats" and a "chat" is 30 messages (counting both the messages you send and the messages you receive, as long as the numbers are reasonably balanced). However, when I look at my number of "chats" and my number of hours it's not obvious how they are related.
