Default How do I find a post I made sometime last year?

I've been trying to locate a post I made sometime last year and the resulst for my user name only list the last 200 posts. In addition, any search by the content of the post (i.e. subject) return a null. I'm guessing it has been moved to the archives. It was a trip report on buying weed over the internets (I'm in Canada so not illeagal - grey area if anything). Any help would be appreciated.

clear out the "newer than" box
put whatever months in the "older than" box
put your username in the username box
click the button that says submit

-"re:"

in the search box to find only posts you made that were the start of a thread (i assumme this was)

So I tried this and got "no matches". I expanded the scope of the search by using "older than 1 week" and removed the -"re:", still no matches... The only hits I get are for "older than 1 day" and it only gives me 4 hits (I obviously have more posts than that).

Any other suggestions?

Thx, I got resulst this time (not sure what I was doing wrong before).

Unfortunately, the thread I am looiking for isn't in that range. Is there a way to search for posts earlier than that?

(Looks like I started 35 threads, but the weed off the web one I am looking for isn't among them - maybe it was older).

I did a quick look for you in the archive server. Only found one weed/canada post which was a single line reply to another OP.

It looks like your post has gone to that Big Board in the sky, where replies are insightful and trolls are dealt with mercilessly. I wish it well.

Your services are much appreciated. So sad though, that was a quality thread.
