View All/Old Posts of Members

Would it be at all possible to have a feature added that would allow us to view more than a member's recent 1,000 posts? A while back when we set up our beta zone board I was able to view all of a long-standing members posts, well into the thousands...even being able to easily find his or her first posts on the forum. This delighted me and I thought it was part of the upgrade. Sometimes when a long-time member will reach a milestone post we would make a big deal out of it and celebrate and I thought it would be cool to find some of their first posts by going to "Profile > View Posts". 

Recently I tried to do this again and I was limited by the number of posts I could view. The posts only went back 34 pages while at an earlier date I was able to go back further to find the first posts from someone.

Is this a feature that could somehow be added? Even if just for mods? Or is this possibly a plugin I should request? Any info or help would be appreciated. Thanks

Use the search page and refine your search further (use by specific member and between specific dates). We don't let searches be larger than the current limit to prevent straining our servers and resources. Just change when you are searching on the search page instead of just clicking the link you currently are.

Thank you Ryan Roos. I did not even think of using the search function that way. And I've been trying to tell all the board members how advanced and great the search is now lol. With a little effort it will work for what I wanted. Much appreciated
