I think it's how IPB (if I am correct in that this forum uses it) manages queries of the database (to lessen the load) but could we have the choice to see MORE than the previous 5 topics & posts we've made? Why? I've not been here in years, yet my account is more than 6 years old and I've only about 93ish posts but even I can remember what I had created (topics) or posted when I came here years ago. Wonder if IPS would change it . . . . . hm.:whistle::shiftyninja:

So why do you want the forums to remind you about something that you already know?

I agree with the idea, since there are times that I remember posting something but I don't remember the details and would like to find it again, but your reasoning seems a bit bizarre.

That said, the forums themselves don't stretch back to their creation date, they only cover 9 pages, so having a complete history of your topics and posts wouldn't be possible.

Nope, thats the filter on them. Click "show filter options" on the bottom of the forums and set the Time Frame to "Show All"

You'll find the BPN forum, for example, goes back 1269 pages ;)

I think IPB 1.X & 2.X did show ALL your topics & posts, weather IPS (Invision Power Services) changed it to lessen server/database load, I don't know. Also as to the "show filter options" there should be a option in your user-control-panel that will show ALL threads without having to click the "show all" option.

Well would you look at that...the General Discussion stretches back to 2002 though, were the forums not created at the same time as the main site? Or maybe one of the updates to the forums meant that older posts couldn't be saved...

See these buttons:

The filter-style buttons above your about me section are simply for a quick overview. The buttons on the left allow you to search much further back.

I'll point out that those buttons still don't allow a complete index of your posts and topics. According to that function, my oldest topic that I created was back in March, which I'm pretty sure isn't the case. However, they do solve the OP's problem of showing more than the previous 6 topics...

Why not just do an advanced forum search with your member name lol?

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?app=core&module=search

I guess that would work since all the posts and topics of the forums are still available to view. I'm not going to try it right now though, since I'm quickly losing interest in the subject at hand :laugh:

"Find Posts" only shows your recent posts up to a maximum of 200 posts. If you want to look at your entire post history, use the advanced search feature.

Simply fill in the appropriate fields: Find author & Find by date.

I just used it to find your very first post (Posted 02 June 2004 - 16:31): https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/173560-word-association/page__p__2207118__fromsearch__1#entry2207118

Also note that for some odd reason, by default the most recent posts only go back by one year. I think that's the case even if you have less than 200 posts. You can easily adjust the time period using search advanced settings.

Ah, yes, I forgot. View all Topics/Posts is limited to one year, which, for the most part, should be far back enough. Using the advanced search, as suggested, allows you to see further back if necessary. This simply helps save resources.

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
