OT: Show more than 10 previous posts?

If you know it's a post that person started, you can sort the posts alphabetically by who started them. There's a drop-down menu next to the "post new topic" button and you select the "started by" option. I've used it before to find an old thread I knew I'd started.

At any rate, it's sort of tricky to use, simply because there are so many pages of old posts. Here's what I do to get to the right page where my old threads start: (and yes, I realize this is a fair amount of work)

Click on the second page of posts. So the URL up at the top of the screen reads like this:
https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&p=2&x=25&ord=ld

In that string, see where there's the p=2, followed by &x=25......? That 2 represents the page number.

So I change it to something else. Let's pretend I change it to 250 (so it'll take me to page 250).

The URL will now read after I change the page number to 250:
https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&p=250
and hit "enter." You don't need all the junk that comes after the 250 to make it go to page 250.

Then I sort by "started by" because it's still sorted by the date of last reply (or whatever the default is).

Then I figure out if I need to go backward or forward to find the appropriate place in the alphabet. Once I'm pretty close, I use the numbered page buttons up at the top right, because when you click on those it doesn't change the sort order (it stays on "started by").
ETA: I'm bored, so I went and figured out that all of your posts start on page 324. So you can click on this:
https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&p=324

Then change the sort order to "started by" and find the start of all of the threads you started.

There's no easy way. Here's the hard way described by fruitgirl, a while back:
