    But did you have the same username ? Because once you change a username as far as I know you then can't search for that old username's posts.
    It's all linked to the userid, not the username. If you register a brand new account obviously it won't be traced, but a change of username makes no difference.

    And I've had the same username all that time anyway.

    How do you mean ? I just tried searching for posts from someone who's change his nick

    I got this message :
    1. Invalid User specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

    EDIT:

    Oh wait, this was on another VBulletin forum that you couldn't find a poster's old posts of their old username. :o
    That forum is using an older version of V than this one. They don't have quick reply or embeded youtube videos :eek:

    You must have searched using the old nick. Which would no longer exist. All the posts do though, and can be found if searched for using the current user id.

    If this shoot is taking place in a darkened room in your house, you can count me out...

    I would like the ability to restrict the viewing of my posts etc.

    I've just spent a while looking through them to see what the fuss is about and I am now on your side. Lets see some more controversy, I nearly fell asleep.

    You can only look at so many previous posts. When you search for "all posts" even with the " a year ago and older" option you can only get 20pages.]

    The oldest I can find from him is "Forum: Soccer 26-02-2006, 12:55"
