When I want to search for my older posts using the 'Find all posts' button on my profile page the search is limited to no more than twenty pages, which takes me back as far as March this year.
Is there a facility, script or URL that I can paste that will allow me to look back further in time? Or perhaps even download my posts as a text file?
Just curious.
Thanks.

The maximum search results to return is set at 500 (so 20 pages with 25 hits per page). It's a forum setting that can be changed. I reckon with a growing membership with high post counts it can be set to a greater number. I take this'll be one for the Boss, as I'm unsure whether or not he set it at 500 for a reason.
HTH :)
