will I be able to go back and read posts from the very beginning?

I've been trying and had better success going the long way about it.

I found (I think) the first Delphi account you used to open the forum by scrolling and clicking on Next 50 link for the "Whatevah" folder. But I cannot use Advanced search to look for posts from it.

In (I think) 2013...? Delphi indexed older posts so using Advanced can some times result in no returns but hunting and pecking shows the posts are indeed there. It's also why we do not get full profile information on the names in older posts.

However from all the older forums I have hunted on - the messages are still there. If you do have trouble finding things post back to me and I can give you tips (gunter and walt can too as well as other hosts who read here!) or if you need me to help I can I just might not be a speedy at replies right now (family stuff)

Thank you for answering so long ago, I was cleaning out my mailbox when I came across it. Yes my original log in was with care2.com. At some point years ago Care2 quit having email support. Unfortunately I was going through a major health crisis, and never got any warning that they had closed down. I had a hotmail account as well. I think my original log in name was A_Seagoddess, but now it seems Delphi has assigned me a name noelcielo7 ??? Have NO idea where that came from. I have been paying quarterly, but not yet had access to ALL of the posts. There are many poems, and other writings there that I would like to retrieve, because this is the only place they are. As yet, I cannot. I think I remember my original password at that time. I believe I started my forum sometime between 1998 to 2000. My forum was vibrant and active, and still in touch with friends I made here.

Please and thank you ANYONE for your help.  Noel

Your old care2.com email address for a_seagoddess was changed by Gunter back in 2021 to a gmail.com address, probably at your request. The noelcielo7 account is a completely different account and will not have the same accesses to older posts. That account does not have an active email address now at all. Write to service@delphiforums.com for more help with this. We do not want to discuss email addresses and passwords in an open forum. If you know the gmail address and you are still using it. you should be able to send for a new password.
