Hi,

It appears once the number of posts of a guru/sage/moderator exceeds a certain number, maybe greater than 6k to 8k, it is not possible to access all of their previous posts.

By going to their profile and clicking, "Find all posts by..." shows about 450 pages worth of posts, however it is only possible to access the first page, clicking on page2 or later brings up no results.

For eg.,

EUsmileWEallsmile & push - you can still access all previous posts.
vinny, sushdmehta & D4109125 - You can only access the first page of their posts.

This feature is quite useful and handy, when looking for a post from the past. Will be great to have this fixed, if it is not too much hassle.
Cheers.

I believe that you're right and it's due to the amount of data required for the search, I can ask whether this can be amended, but can't promise anything.

I don't think it would affect those with the rank 'sage'.

This appears to be a bug. To get around it, copy the url of the first page and add "&start=n" at the end, to get the more pages, where n is a counter for the number of posts on your screen.

Eg. If there are 20 posts shown, then n is a multiple of 20.

Second page: http://www.immigrationboards.com/search.php?search_author=vinny&start=20

Third page: http://www.immigrationboards.com/search.php?search_author=vinny&start=40
