Searching the RX

I'm trying to search for this my posts in the NBA this year and all of last season. My searches for my posts only go back to December of 08. NBA started October 08. Is there some type of filter on that only allows serches till Dec 08?

I want to get all of 07/08 specially my playoff posts starting april 08 till Boston won the championship.

what should I do?

I also found some 04 posts of mine when I searched threads instead of posts. Help.

Jesus, moderators anyone there?

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. In order to find old posts you need to learn how to use the advanced search forum to it's maximum ability to search for old threads.

What you need to do is used Advanced Search with a keyword that you think will be in the thread or post (generally keywords must contain 5 letters at least to work) and the posters name (spelled exactly as it is in his posts).

To quickly find a thread or post of interest anywhere on the site, click on the 'Search' link in the navigation bar at the top of most forum pages. Then, type in the keyword or phrase you wish to search for, and select either 'Show Threads' or 'Show Posts' to view the results. By selecting posts, you will be shown only the actual post in which the search word appears.

For more control over the search, select 'Advanced Search' from the drop-down box. The advanced search page allows you to restrict your search to individual forums, find posts or threads by user. There are also options to find posts from a certain date, or threads with a certain number of replies.

How do I search a specific forum or thread?
If you are browsing a forum, you can quickly search for a thread or post within it by clicking on the 'Search this forum' link near the top of the page (it's above the list of threads). You can also search for individual posts within a thread by clicking on the 'Search this Thread' link at the top of any thread view page.

Your best bet to find anything old is to use the advanced method with a keyword and the poster's username spelled exactly right.

If you wish I can find some of your old threads, all I need is a keyword and the Forum you posted in. Email me at person19481950@yahoo.com and I will do what I can to link you to any old posts of yours that you have a keyword to.

Best of luck, wilheim

The trick is to choose "and Older" as the search option to go back further in time.
