    When I try to use the search function to search posts made by a member,it only brings up the last 100 threads.Is there any way to find ones going further back?
    Thanks!

    As far as I can tell, no -- it's to reduce the strain on the server. You can, however, restrict the search by date to a certain extent (e.g. pick "a week/month/year ago or older"), but that's about it. The farthest back you can go is "a year ago or older." If what you're looking for was a thread they started, you can pick that option, as well, to further narrow down the results. Also, try looking for keywords AND have the specific username selected if none of that helps.

      Searches are extremely taxing on the server. The limit is in place to reduce the strain. But as ericKei pointed out you can ask for older threads, and you can also narrow the search by including more keywords. You can also do an advanced Google search and limit it to results from customerssuck.com
