How to find my old threads?

I'm trying to find a thread I started about 2.5 years ago - but when I go to "Threads I started" - only the last year or so displays.

Is there any way I can find my old threads? I'm not sure which username I posted under, so can't google.

Hi @Secretsquirrelshh,

Thanks for posting, and sorry you're having trouble finding the thread you're looking for.

The "I'm on" and "I started" lists do have a cut-off to stop them becoming too long.

If you can remember roughly what the thread was about, which topic it was posted in, and when you started it, you may be able to find it using Advanced Search, which you can access here. On desktop, you'll find it at the top of the page. I've attached a screenshot to help you find it.

If you'd rather, just let me know what the thread was about, which topic you think it was in, and roughly when you posted it. I'll see if I can track it down and send you the link here, or by PM if you'd prefer.
