I noticed when clicking the "my past posts" link in peoples' profiles it takes an incredibly long time to display them if someone has lots of posts. Some GB's with thousands of posts never have the list show up, even after waiting 15 min or more. As the number of posts by a member grows, this search feature for past posts becomes essentially unusable. Just wondering if there's a way to limit it to search, say by gallery, thread, or number of recent posts? Perhaps an option to limit it by date (last 10 days, last month, etc.)? It might make the feature more usable. I realize I could probably get around this by just using the Search feature at the top, but the link is there on the profiles and I tend to click it often.

Greg, Sometimes I like to see a member's old posts, so I would not like to have it limited in time. But, yes, now that I tried it, to check how long it takes (for someone who has been posting for a long time), I get the message "internal server error". Perhaps there is some bug at work?

I think it's just overwhelming the search engine if it has to search for thousands of posts. It would be better if we could see, say a limited page at a time and then click to go back in time or something.

I've had this happen, too. Perhaps there could be a choice of "See all Posts" or "See last 100 posts" or something like that. Then if there was a problem accessing all the posts we could try the smaller search request.
