What will happen / has happened to the forum posts that were made from the start of MoneySavingExpert to the present day ? Are they in an accessible archive ?

Hi!

They're still live on the forum, you should be able to find them if you do a search for the particular term you're looking for.

If you're looking back at your own past posts you can see the last 300.

Hope that helps

If you use the forum search, you can find posts going right back to the beginning in 2003.

Example ---> Search

Thanks Fermi
My issue is that I can find the first 300 posts with a search key or the last 300 posts. Anything that matches my search but would be beyond 300 is blocked.

The 300 record limit clip could still be maintained but the facility of a start search date and a stop search date can be adjusted to eventually cover all matching records if there are more than 300.

The over one year search option is not very useful and is soon out of date.
