So I'm looking at my join date and can't believe how time has flown, but you know what they say about time flying when having a grand ol' time.

When was the debut on the web of this fine forum?

When did the software change?

When were certain sections added/deleted?

How does one find one's first thread?

I don't think you can--the post search history for each person only goes back so far... 300 most recent posts to be exact.

You can probably dig through every single thread until you find your oldest post by date :) I don't know how long they've had the system auto-set to subscribe you to every thread you reply to, but that may be one method for searching as well--check the oldest subscribed thread you have. Me, I've got like 900 subscribed threads :D

Search for Threads Started By . . . in ascending order. https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=48917 seems to qualify. Surprising how little's changed, isn't it?

What! His first post is blasphemy! Why would he want to draw attention to that? :D

I think this may be the very first thread.

Interesting that the second post on the first thread was the only post by that person.

It was his three minutes of fame (that message was his only activity, did not even browse forums as logged since :)).

I can only imagine the how much the forum has evolved over the years. Thank you Pekka for all of the hard work from there to here (and for all the work yet to come). This forum has made an incredible difference in photography!

How would you find your first post if you didn't start the thread and you have more than 300?
BTW This was very amusing, I found my first just over 4 years ago.

Change the sort order to "oldest first" when setting up the search. Also works if you've started more than 300 threads.

It's also interesting to look at the Members List and sort it by Join Date and by Posts to get a "view" of the different members and how active they've been. In particular, notice how so many of the early joiners ('01) have just stopped posting. And, it's cool to go down the most active posters!!
