== Finding Old posts on Apple Support Communities ==

There are several ways to find old posts. I know that very old threads are still around but are not easy to find using the forum tools. I have bookmarks to some that are almost 20 years old.


1) Go to your My Subscription page, click on your name at the top of a post, then go to the My Subscriptions tab. Check the "Filter" header on your My Subscriptions page. Use one such as "Participated" or "Authored" if you are looking for on in which you took part.

I believe there may be a thread count and/or time limit for these if you are looking for a really old discussion.


2) Try entering your ASC user name in the Search tool at the top of this page.


3) Another trick to try is a web search. With Google I would do something such as:

[your user name on this site] site:discussions.apple.com

and then use some of Google's date filter tools to narrow it down. Note that Google will not find all of your posts but if you can also include some words in the search that you may have used in the thread that will narrow it down too.

It is possible that other web engines may have a different list. It will depend upon when they crawled the ASC web site and how deeeply they delved.
