If the user does not post too many messages or if you know the approximate time, then trying their chat profile might help.
I mean something like this: chat.stackexchange.com/users/29610?tab=recent chat.stackexchange.com/users/29610?tab=recent&page=2 chat.stackexchange.com/users/29610?tab=recent&page=3
So for example if I wanted to see your messages from January, it's not that difficult to find the page where they start by trial and error: chat.stackexchange.com/users/29610?tab=recent&page=206
And it seems that what I wrote above is exactly the same thing as in the answer to this question: Is there some way to see all of a user's messages in a chat room?
@user21820 rene's answer to the same question provides some userscript. However, I am not familiar with using userscripts, so I can't test whether it is still working.

@MartinSleziak I am not, nor have I implied that no question ever should be edited by another. There is currently no consensus on what "a question abandoned by the OP" means. How do we operationalize "abandoned question?" And when a question is useful and worth keeping.

Is there a consensus about anything? And in fact, the question does not have to be abandoned. I cannot find examples right away, but I remember several times when I edited context into the question based on the OP's comments under the question.

@MartinSleziak I'm sorry; I'm not speaking about your actions with respect to your answerers and/or your edits.
in CRUDE, 7 hours ago, by Martin Sleziak
I don't really understand your last message. Do you mean answers rather than answerers?
in CRUDE, 7 hours ago, by amWhy
@MartinSleziak I'm not talking about unanimity, but when folks want to make a statement to the effect that, when if ever a question is interesting, potentially useful, and in particular abandoned by the OP, then no holds barred.

Ok, I think I'll leave this to native speakers. I'm not really able to make heads and tails of this.

If you want to see some cases where I tried to edit/improve a question (or ask for an advice how can I improve a question), you can find a few in this room.

@amWhy I did not understood some of your messages, but it seems you asked me for a clear criterion what is abandoned post and what are useful answers (or useful questions). I do not have such a criterion, I think this is a judgement call.

After all it is the same with closing and deleting. Not everybody would agree with the closing/deletion of posts menioned here. If somebody doesn't agree, they can simply not vote to close/delete, or actively vote to reopen/undelete (or even post on meta or discuss the issue here).

I think it's basically the same with editing/improving posts. If I edit somebody's post, people who disagree with that can say so. And the fact that I mention such cases here in this room makes such actions easier to notice. (I have to admit this does not happen very frequently.)

If you prefer, we can discuss this elsewhere. (If you feel I've digressed too far from the purpose of the room.

@MartinSleziak Yes, you understand some of my messages correctly, in your comment.
