I tried the “search all posts by this user” on myself today and it only has posts going back a few weeks or months. Is there a way of finding all of the posts I’ve ever posted?
All search results tap out at 750. If you want to go back farther than that you must engage in some search engine jiggery-pokery like having it display oldest to newest or starting a year ago.
Use the advance search page#
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php
Search by USER NAME [EmilyG]
Show results as threads
That will show the most recent 500 threads you’ve participated in. To see older ones you can use date options like FIND POSTS FROM [2 years ago] AND [older]
Or you could search each forum one at a time.
Click on your user name and then click statistics then find all posts/threads by yadda yadda…
Tried that on you and it bottomed out at 500 with the earliest post being 10-30-2013
The earliest op I can get is 05-27-2012
Looks like you can only access the last 500 posts maybe via here. Google can possibly find the rest
