Hello, I have made about 500 posts since joining ubuntu, but when searching my "Search-->--Find All Posts", it has been cut off to the most recent 250 posts.

My problem is that in my first 250 posts, there were some topics that I would look up to recommend answers that had worked for me and others, and if I saw a question about, for example, broadcom wifi, I would refer a thread that had solved an issue with it, or I would look through my history to refer someone to the same "HOWTO" guide or link that helped me.

Or if I had forgotten how I fixed something back in October, I would look into my earliest posts to see the answer. Well, some of those posts weren't my thread and those have been lost now.

I wasn't aware that once you reached 250 posts that it would drop the older posts for your more recent posts.

Anyway, is there a way to see my older posts, or change the amount from 250 to 500 posts in my "Search-->--Find All Posts" ?

500 posts! You rock:guitar:
I hope you don't think I'm stepping out of line, but is this the right forum really? not sure where esle it may go, though.

Thank you. The Advanced search feature worked perfectly for those old posts.
