The 8k cap

Is there any way to get the true total number of posts of a user nowdays?

The old way of searching for all post made by the user seems to be capped at 8k.

Other than looking at profiles, no. And that won't include OTW posts.

Bah, that's a disappointment.

What is the cap though?
Trying to get your total number of posts made me believe that 8k were the magic number but comparing the result of cokehabits total posts and his OTW posts scraps that theory.

Not entirely sure. I think its a phpbb limitation though. Over at phpbb forums, it only lists 15k of 24k for one of their mods. I thought we had some posts about it, but I didn't turn them up in a cursory search.

Okay, couldn't find anything either, thanks for the reply though.
I found some other limits/oddities in the search function as well but it doesn't really matter since the thingy I were working on stopped:
