    As strange as it may seem I don't think you can find your first post right now - but you will be able to soon :rotfl:

    (Unless I'm missing an obvious way)

    The search will only return the 300 most recent results.

    If you go to the advanced search you can modify it. You can make it search for posts 6 months or older. But this doesn't help you because you made more than 300 posts in that period.

    After you've been here over a year you'll be able to set it to search A year ago and older and you'll find what you want.


    I suppose you could go to the advanced search and try only searching a few boards at a time and find the oldest post of those searches - but that might be a bit time consuming

    I did an Advanced Search for Any date.

    Ooh, got all excited but no. It was on DFW called Never have any money and want to cry. I wanted to remind myself how far I've come!
