How do I search my old posts past 4 pages?

mike0187 · Apr 6, 2008

Have never been able to figure this out. I always get only 4 pages of results when looking for any particular posters posts. Thank you.

If you have a particular post you want to search just go to advanced search and enter a word you recall in the post you want to find

mike0187 - used the advanced search with a keyword (must have min. 5 letters).
