Bryan, thank you for your directions on finding PeopleSearch. However, I have been unable to test them out, because I have been unable to sign onto the Beta site this evening. When I try, I now get the following cryptic message:

Invalid password: [hint=]

I am not the first person to report this peculiar bug, so I presume somebody is working on it.

Now, a couple of further comments.

It is quite true, as you say, that when you click on a Personal Profile, you get a list of recent posts by that user. But, as I said in my original post, you get a list of only TWENTY posts. On "Classic SI," you get a list of ONE HUNDRED posts (or is it even more?).

My first question was: why are there FEWER posts on the Beta Site's Profile Page than there are on the Classic SI Profile Page? And my point was: if anything, there should be MORE. (That is, if the Beta Site is supposed to be an improvement over the old site.) In other words, what I would like to see, in an ideal world (I can dream, can't I?), is a search function that would let me see ANY NUMBER OF that poster's posts. Yes, quite simply, "the ability to go back further in history." (I am not talking about a "dual search" for both person & subject -- too complicated, anyway, I think.)

Still confused about what I mean? :-)
