Hi Jim,

You can look back past 500 messages, but you need to go to the archives to do so. Near the top of the main page of the bulletin board you will find a link for "BBS Archives". That link will take you to a "read only" bulletin board where ALL the messages are stored that have scrolled of the main board.

When you get there, use the "Search/Personalize Display" option to narrow down your search. For example, you may want to search for all messages that contained the words "Gabel" and "Biloxi". If that didn't yield the correct message you might search for "Blast", etc.

I intend to keep all old messages in the archives, at least for a couple of years or until I run out of space.
