When one goes to a profile page (like here) and clicks on the "posts" tab, then only the most recent few posts are displayed.

 

Would there be a way (on the server side I presume) to increase that count - ideally make it unlimited?

This seems like the same new behavior where the "View New Content" display is cut off at about 24 hours. The old, unlimited, display would be much better for both (or have the option for it).

A work around is using the search function at the upper right of the page:

The trick is in the little grey wheel right from the green magnifying glass. Clicking that one gives you the screen for all the search options you want.

• Copy the member's name in the Find Author field;
• Choose: Search in section: "Forums";
• Choose: Display results "as posts";
• Search now.

Search results seem to be limited to a maximum of 200. So for example Ratface's posts (384) go back no further than July 2008.

But redoing the search using the date fields (from January 2004 to July 2008) reveals the earlier posts as well.

The date fields don't go further back than 2004. Was that the year this (new) forum started?

my profile tells me I joined the current forums on 23/08/2003 (08/23/2003 if you use that date format )

The trick

 

Aha - thanks for that! Works well, although it would be so great if this was just the default result of clicking on the old posts link on the member profile page...

Where is the "display results as" command? I couldn't find it.

It's in an additional menu below "Search in section..."

This menu only pops up when you select "Search in section".... 'Forums'.
