Find Post

Can somebody tell me how I can lookup my Old Posts?
I can not Find them thanks.

Right-hand top menu >> 'View My' >> 'Posts as Posts' or 'Threads.....'

You can also L click the small 'magnifying glass' at the bottom of any of your posts.

Never realised that

Might add that the published list, certainly mine, is NOT all the posts you have made. Seems to be restricted to 25 pages * 40.

It seemed I used to be able to go back beyond 25 pages, but I think Baldrick may have changed that to speed searches.
Our 'Mod Forum' goes back 88 pages to 2002, but there isn't much graphics to take up space there.
Baldrick may have archived all posts somewhere. Seems nothing really disappears from the Internet.

Our server statistics don't show a lot of HDD room for archiving:
IBM X3630
CPU 2x Intel Quad Core E5620
Harddisk 4x1TB SATA2 Hardware RAID
RAM (16GB DDR3)

Something I have wondered about for quite some time -- not just for here, but a similar problem with other often voluminous forums running various forum software: You do keyword & / or with-author searches and you get some hits . . . but the thread is VERY long. It gets to be quite tedious going through all 65 pages of the thread, constantly using the browser's CTRL-F with your keyword repeated to find any possible hits within each page, in sequence. (Or even jumping around in the thread, when you can roughly rule out certain time ranges.) Any shortcut to greatly narrow that down, zeroing in on just those pages of the thread that contain said hits ? (I know you can't speak to other forum softwares, but if there is a solution I've been missing here, maybe I can extrapolate it to some others.)

@Seeker47
I usually just select "Show Results as" "Posts". Then from there get to the thread page.

Thanks. Yes, I've resorted to that in the past . . . and will try sneaker's suggestion as well.
