Question: am i able to see my entire post history on this site?

an illegible mess. · May 7, 2020

hi, i have a question regarding being able to search through and look at my past posts on this site. i noticed that when i go to the "find all posts" link on my user page, it only shows the posts i've made up to a certain point (around november of 2017) and i know i've made posts prior to that date on this website. is there anyway to see those old posts, or are old posts automatically deleted/removed from searches after a certain amount of time?

Your posts aren't gone. Searching normally only brings up 150 posts at a time. I believe you can advanced search to bring up more than the 150 limit, but I could be wrong. Don't take my word for it.

With our current search function, when you a standard search using the search function, it returns your most recent 150 posts by default. You can choose to "Sort Results By:" "Last Posting Date" in "Ascending Order" instead of "Descending Order" to see your first 150 posts. You can also mess around with the "Filter Date:" to get additional results. [E.g. searching posts from member using "Results From a year ago and older" will show the last 150 posts you made this time last year and older.
