It's driving me nuts that you can't easily find a member's posts odler than 1 year old. The only way is to do an advanced search and waste a minute or two selecting options. It may be conveneient that view content has so many tabs of content, but when it causes there to be this drawback I don't think it's even worth it. It would have eben better to not have tabs and have a dropdown to change the content type if it meant not losing a ton of past content.

There's a setting that controls this: "Limit "Posts/Topics by this user" results to X days" in the Search Set-Up settings.

Thanks. I either forgot or somehow never noticed it. I still wonder why there's a limit though as it doesn't seem like it would be resource intensive either way.

I am having this same problem, old posts are not showing up. The user in question has 66 posts that go back to 2008. I want to see them all. I found this setting and left X days blank. Now it shows some older posts but still not all of them. Also the message states: "There have been 13 items by xxxx (Search limited from 12-April 11)"
And the 13 posts showing are earlier than April 2011-2012.

Is there a trick I'm missing? I still want to see the other 53 posts.

It really makes that feature not so good when they had to undo the complete history in order to change to that feature.
