Save yourself some trouble and make a "bookmark" or "favorite" for your profile or your recent posts page ("View Recent Posts" link from your profile).
The profile I'm referring to is not "My Profile".
You should be able to navigate to your profile from any one of your posts, the "Profile For My Name" link should be near the edit/delete post icon.
Then when you want to find your recent posts you can get to them. You'll also be able to find your member number in case you want to search for one of your older posts in a forum.
Search this forum if you want to see discussions about how hard it is to find your profile, your member number, etc. Not necessary to post more about that here...
