Hi guys and gals, I have an administration issue and I hope someone can help me out. If I want to add a comment to a thread which has disappeared off the main page, is there a really quick way of finding it again without trawling through thousands of pages? Cheers.

Sorry peeps, it's no good. Maybe I was looking at it square in the face and missed it, but I can't find the thread I started a week or so ago under the 'Search' facility...'Famous Arsenal Fans'. I just wanted to add a few names to the rogues gallery, and peope I NEVER want to see succeed at whatever they do...Mo Farah, Dermot Murnaghan, Susie Dent and Geraint Thomas the cyclist. I curse them and send them all my negative energy.

If anyone can find the thread for me, once again, I'd be very grateful.

You can bookmark the thread to make it double easy for yourself OR if you use the search facility, if it's in Spurs Chat use 'this forum' from the drop down list, (default setting 'everywhere'), check "search titles only" and use a keyword used in the thread title. Or something like that anyway :D

Or, you can click on your user name, go to your profile page and click on 'postings' for a list of posts you've made and scan through those.

Can you adjust the limit of returned hits with the search? For example, if I were to search for every post I'd made in the Movie thread, it would limit that result set to 10 pages (for arguments sake). Can that be expanded to an unlimited result set, or is it finite?

Easier way to find your own threads would be to click on your username in the top right,
In the dropdown click on your username again,
Then click find, just to the right of your avatar,
in the dropdown just click 'find all threads by Spurslove'

No typing required that way.

As far as I'm aware, you would get every post you'd made within that thread in the results.
Nah, I only get a maximum of 15 pages returned, which in that particular thread only goes back to 2016.

Which is fair enough if that's the limit of the platform. Or maybe there's an advanced setting I'm missing.

Take a look toward the bottom right hand side of page 15, there might be a button marked ‘older results’

Afraid not. I'm on desktop too.

Maybe there's some funky export function where I can download my content via xml or something.

It's ok, no big deal really. Just wondering.
