Are very old posts still available in the forum archive? If so, how can they be retrieved?

Everything from the last forum was pulled over into this one. The old forum is on the web but when I get to it, it keeps redirecting me back here. With some internet skills, I could search it, but my admin rights don’t mean anything there. I haven’t tried going back two generations.

As for searching using this software, the spyglass at the top of the page is the only thing there is. So, you need unique phrases to search. Maybe there are advanced options for that, but I haven’t looked for them.

The Search feature has advanced filters. Went all the way back to 2013 on first try.
