i am currently being asked for a link to a trade thread for a s/a but the trade i made was around a month old
when i go to the screen to search all posts from the person in my s/a it says "Your search will be retained for 7 days. Results are limited to 500 results."
does this mean it will only find threads that have been replied to in the last 7 days? or does it mean something else? i dont want to have to cough up the 5fg search cost (i dont even know why it charges, i was scammed why should i have to pay to get scammer locked??) if it wont even find what im looking for
thx

You will need to search the archives. There you can improve your search by searching the author's name with ctrl + f.

it searches more than the 7 days, the 7 days is how long you can access the search link

thanks for the reply but the latest it will let me go back is to page 201, and the oldest thread there is only 11 and a half days old, it wont let me go anywhere near close enough, i would need to be able to see threads 20days old as a minimum lol, i think its pretty much a lost cause. thanks for confirming i dont have to waste the 5fg tho lol :p

I just did a search on myself and it went all the way back to 05 so you'll get all the posts. once you pay the 5 fg you are given a link, which I believe then works for 7 days

The search users post option only searchs the last 500 post the member made

The retaind for 7 days means u can view/access the search results for the next 7 days

If u can't find the topic ur looking for in the persons last 500 post u can try searching the Archives use the Ctrl + F option

You can also use google to recover threads sometimes. If you let me know some details on the thread I can try to dig it up for ya!

If you use firefox and have somewhat of an idea of what it was called you can easily search your history

history>show all>search

i find threads that way all the time

Unfortunately you can't retrieve a cleared Firefox history.
