Tried it. Same as clicking on self-search. Still one page at a time, most recent first. If I could just switch that to oldest first...
And thanks for the suggestions, gang!
Also set your return to maximum comments/articles which I think is 250.
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! :)
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.
