How do you search through your old posts speedily ?

Just spent what seemed like a LONG time trying to find a link to the farm animals. (Wot I dun.)

Having found the photo in 'my pictures' folder...That gave me the date I took said picture.
Right then....All I have to do is find my posts around/after that date.....and 'job done'.

Admittedly, I should have started at the other end of my posts...which would have been OODLES quicker !
Going back two pages at a time...and watching the date of the top post per page got me there, eventually. X_X

But can you literally only 'move' a couple of pages at a time ?.....Or can you skip to individual pages ?
I could have narrowed down my search 'lots quicker'.

Any ideas, gang ?

At the bottom of your search are numbers, click on them...
That's the best I can offer unless you can remember any words that went with your post and put those in as a search...

That's basically what I was doing, Will....Though I was using the page numbers at the top of the page, which only allow you to skip a couple of pages at a time.
I wanted to try and flick back dozens.
I tried the search facility too, but there were too many other posts with the relevant words in them.

If only I could have remembered the title I'd given the topic !....... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D (Fat chance)

Hello Techno

If you have a look at the address for lists of your post you see this on the second page:-

http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=901;sa=showPosts;start=15

Each page lists 15 posts - so to get where you want to go, eg for 10 pages further you'd just alter the 15 to 150 and press the enter key. If you wanted to go to the 31st page you'd alter it to 450

AHA !!!  :)

Many thanks, Grumps ! :-bd
I'll have a go a that later.
(I'll probably have to remember the word 'speedily' for the topic now.....So I can find this at a later date.....When I need to use it again..... X_X  ;D ;D ;D)
Much appreciated !

No-one is EVER to use the word 'speedily' on the forum from now on ! (On pain of a poke in the eye.)  ;)

(That's my new word to help find this thread.....So you can all use 'speedily' as much as you want now.... :P.....I like being able to modify my posts without a time limit.)

Hmmmm....That hasn't seemed to have worked. :(
