I must not be alone with this problem and look for ideas.

 

I post a lot of research in this (great) Forum and this year marks my 13th anniversary!

 

Several times I asked how to effectively save long threads to keep track of the research and discussion and could only partially succeed (page by page as print PDF on my PC vs. say printing the full thread with all its pages in once).

 

Now I have a related problem as, when I was searching for a post I recollect very well I wrote, I was not able to find it as older than one year. Apparently after consulting with experts I was told they had the same problems. They too could only track about one year old posts and topics of theirs. While I keep bugging them, hoping for a solution, I wonder about other users. I also fully realize the resource limitation of the Forum.

 

Have you gone to the same pain and found a solution? Are these features only for paying users? I am sure solving both issues will improve the Forum and provide incentive for growing the community.

https://www.longecit...ch&fromsearch=1

 

I did a search and forced in searching from 2006, even though it only lists 2017 onwards. It returned my posts after 2012, but not those I made before 2012...

Thank you for your feedback InquilineKea. Not sure about that. However, when I now go on my name on the top of the screen and click on it I have the option of "My Content" still prompting only one year BUT my "Content | Follow" prompts everything of mine and searching a bit I seem able to retrieve everything back (more than 10 years). I am happy with that.

 

Still searching for a better way to print/save threads.

Where is "Content | Follow"?

 

Can someone find the content on https://forum.longev...ity-project/268 ? I found it and reposted it to longevitybase in 2022, but can't find it now...

Okay, that returns threads from January 2011 (at least). IDK about before. God, I can't believe how much I used to use these forums and how much I seemed to forget most of my activity...

Finding my content is a problem, which I have stumbled upon either. In my profile, it writes, that I have 2,198 active posts, No matter how do I search them, only 20-30 pop up after the search. I also have many started topics. With the forum search I find 10-15.

 

I am seriously thinking of making an external list with links to my topics and my posts, that I may want to revisit, to put it on my personal web page for example and, putting a link to the list somehow in my profile.

 

I have many 'lost' topics and posts, for which I think are on important matter.

Maybe searching with external search engines with the addition of: site:https://www.longecity.org/forum in the search bar would work?
