looking at my old posts

[Skaperen]

i would like to look at some of my old posts from over 2 years ago. is there a practical way to get to them? the only thing i have found is the activity page that only works on a discontinuous scrolling method. even if i were to spend that much time scrolling and loading more, there is no assurance it can handle them that way, or even if they are saved that far back.

[QIII]

"Quick Links" --> "Find all my posts" should do it.

so, only about a month is saved?

No. I've just found a load of posts of mine from 2006, the year I joined the forum. It took a few seconds.

Open up advanced search and have a look at the additional options. With judicious use of those, you'll be able to find most things.

ok, i'll look there. i just want to see what the subjects were in a range of dates. i don't have any words to search for.

I often use Google for that kind of search, but usually also have a key work or two. But often find too much info. You can add a date range also. Under tools, anytime, custom.
