How to search older posts?

Faith · 2009-03-04 12:54:01

Wasn't sure where to put this... When you're looking for more posts by a poster, it only shows you the most recent 500 posts. How can you search their posts that are older than that? Say I wanted to find me first posts on boards, how can I do that?

In the search options, you have the option to sort the results by date. If you change the sorting to "Last Posting Date in Ascending Order", you'll get the oldest 500 posts which match you search criteria.
