How can I go back to view my old posts without going back on self-search one page at a time?
That would be nice, to find a way to do oldest first.
If you can remember some of the exact wording, some of it, at least, and Google it with the phrase in parentheses, that might work?
Good luck! :)
This reminds me of something I found a while ago. I’m not sure it would help the OP, but somehow I found a site where a person continues to save all of my FR cooking-thread links, and has continued to save them, even while I’ve been gone over the past month and Yaelle and CottonBall have taken over for me. I think I originally stumbled upon this by searching on my FR name, and a key word or two from a recipe that I was trying to find.
I’ve never understood this - this person must have an automated method of roaming around and picking up cooking threads when they’re posted. I’m not very smart about software and how this might be done, but here it is:

In the beginning, I started to list all the threads on my profile page, so people might be able to find recipes again; but it became too much of a chore and I never finished.
Now I’m thinking I should just link to this anonymous benefactor’s website ;-)

And with Google search, you can filter by date.
do your search and go back two pages. Then go to the url address bar in your browser. It will look like this:
http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/pings?more=410726258
..or something similar. Now change the first number “4” to a 3 and hit enter — voila you just jumped back six years +/-. Now continue to manipulate the numbers until you get to the time period you want. Saves going back sixty five pages or whatever.

You’ll just be embarrassed by all the crazy stuff you wrote....... “

That is bizarre. There is a huge number of ‘grub’ sites on that site.

I guess it’s a real serious foodie ;-)
A great resource, I guess.
They have all of libertarian27’s cooking threads, too.
A serious foodie with lots of free time!
I think they must have some kind of software that goes around collecting...
Thanks, I’ll give it a try!
most likely. the poster would have to spend all their time updating the links otherwise. and have an obsessive disorder to boot!
That site also has a political section - lots of FR stuff
Must be a FReeper here.
I think they cover that by directing to the Wayback machine.
It’s quite an accomplishment, though ;-)
