Accessing previous forum post

<p> On occasion I like to visit a persons previous posts and often I get a 504 error. I realize this is an access error but I only need to access a week or so at a time and not the entire history of posts. An example is from Patrick Lavoie's page. He has over 9000 previous posts and he is such an asset to the site I hate to miss a lot of the information. Would it be possible to limit the access so it wouldn't tax the servers?</p>

 

I hope you dont mind me mentioning Nadine Ohara who has a large number of well written and instructive forum posts which time out before access. Maybe just acess to them in blocks of a thousand Etal?THanks for your patience Josh and team Regards miken

<p>Yeah, optimzing that query and maybe paginating the results (or breaking them up by year? something?) sure seems necessary at this point.</p>

<p>Same for some of the other lists I like to access that time out a lot: My follow-up comments and my own and others' list of critiques. I wonder if a pagination system similar to the one we can choose for reading threads would help alleviate the problem?</p>

<p>It would not surprise me to learn this is already on the "to do list", and probably has been for some time.</p>
