Searching for super old threads...

[Cataholic]

In general, someone asked why we joined PT. I couldn't remember, so I started on a search of my oldest thread/post. It seems that I can only go back one year. Is this so?

I think that is right.. I think its like 300 post & threads in the history file..

I just did by searching for the word Graemer, my RB kitty.

You need to use the other boxes too (something like as in attachment).

Johanna, I found these for you,

Chris,
Thank you, that took me back to 2002! But, I could tell I was an active member at that time, not a newbie. I am trying to find my first post.

Karen,
When I do what you say, it only goes back to 300 posts ago. I tried the one year and later, and it again gave me 300 posts.

Hmmm....can anyone find their first post?

Johanna, I also only can go 300 posts back when I search "posts" started by myself, which isn't very much, but searching for threads, it takes me back to 2004.

If you remember the title of the thread, it will make it easier. Or if you know it's a thread with lots of replies, click on "Replies" on a specific forum (like Cat General) and the threads with the most replies will be in front.

Would be nice if you could search for a date, though.

No, you can change the parameters of the search by changing the parameters to "a year ago" "and older" or you can even - if you are looking for a post of your own, just hit "Show all posts by" and yourself.

But if you want to know when you joined, that information is under your profile!
