Default FAO Admin - post retrieval........

Need to find a for sale post in the Cars for Sale section, but it only goes back 5 pages - does that mean my post is lost forever?

I believe Pet said when he gave us the Search button back, that it could only work for the past 5 weeks.... for now. I am sure he is working on giving us the whole database to work on....

So I guess that if your post is older than 5 weeks, you will have to do a user / manual search.

if you look manually you should be able to go back to day 1

look at the bottom of the page... theres a bit that says "display all poss from previous: [30 days] [Oldest First] [GO]"

change that to "All posts"

Jim - it is - try it yourself, there's only 5 available pages of Cars for Sale

Lou - written by me - titled something like "Very big spec 2wd Sapphire Cosworth".

It's the only post I've ever put in that room!

pon youre right it is only 5 pages... but those 5 pages go back to november 2003 (about the same time the room was created )! and it wasnt THAT long ago you put the car up for sale (i rememebr seein the post)

is it possible the post is in a different section (either you posted it there or it got moved by accident) or maybe it got sold and a mopd deleted it?
