I know this is obviously not the right forum to post this question, but I really don't know that there is a right forum. How can I find posts from say, 18 months ago? When I do searches of my posts, it only goes back to 1 year ago i think. The only things i can search seem to be very recent, how can i find posts from over a year old, but not in the "older posts archive" which is like 6 or 7 years ago?

Try using google advanced search, putting http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/ as the domain to search

I searched for my name and only 63 pages came up. I want to see some of my older posts and see how retarded i was. Damn it, does no one know how to do this?

Ansky:

Go to the archive server , and click search.

Then type your username in under Username Search. Then, under date range, put in older than 1 year.

For example, this seems to be your first post.

That should do it.

While we're asking search questions....What did Fossilman post as when he was posting and whose posts did he respect?

Thanks!

Thanks Keith, but it's not working. I know I'm doing right, as I am successful at searching for my own posts.

This works when searching for me....or you.....but not "Greg (FossilMan)"
Anyone know why?

Bizarre . . . works ok for me. I just did a search for Greg's posts newer than 12 months and it pulled back a bunch. You can also get to his posts via his profile (posted the link a few posts up).
