    Question How can I recall my really old posts?

    I have a solution to one of my problems in one of my old posts, and yet when I search my old posts, the Ubuntu forums search engine doesn't go back in time far enough. How can I recall my really old posts?

    Click on the "Search" option on Ubuntuforum's page, and select "Find All Your Posts". It's a long way though and be sure to login before performing that. Try remembering a keyword for that post anyway.
    Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time. So long as there is a regular progression of Stimuli to get your mental hooks into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this begins, its rate is a matter of discretion.

    The problem is that it only goes back 250 posts...

    Try asking the Ubuntuforum's OP's/staffs. Maybe, they could guide you on that.

    use advanced search and set a date prior to xxx - you joined sept. 2008 and maybe set to find posts only prior to oktober 2007 and select posts written / or threads created by yourself.
