How can I see all the threads I have an alert to?

Question
-
Guys, Whenever I see an important thread, I just add an alert so that I can look at it later whenever required using "My Threads" option. But now I can only see threads I have subscribed to for last 60 days. What about previous posts and threads.
Please lemme know if there are ways to get that information.

This was actually asked a few days ago here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/27bc2f94-f91e-41b1-85ab-3ff2f19ec0bf/view-my-all-threads-more-than-60-days?forum=reportabug and from the replies it looks like the 60 day limit it by design.
There's a link in the thread to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/5ff80b68-68eb-4823-bdde-013dcc335e7c/forums-release-january-14-2014?forum=announce where the limit is mentioned. Sounds like having an unlimited thread number was causing errors to be generated, so they fixed it by implementing a limit.
There is however a suggested work around for those threads you've replied to (but I don't think those which you've simply added an alert to) by using Google's advanced search features. Basically search Google for your username and "site:social.technet.microsoft.com" and then sort by date.

Yes you're quite right, hadn't thought of doing it that way (hadn't seen your reply before I starting writing my reply). Using the My Alerts method I can see all of mine going back to 2010.
Thanks Keith for your replay, I thought that there is something wrong with my browser. :^)sqldevelop.wordpress.com

Thanks Saeid Hasani, helped a lot. There was one thread I was looking for particularly but couldn't find. Now I do know where to search. Thanks again.

Basically, this method only works if you set Alerts for your threads.

Indeed. The Alerts method us useless if you want to find stuff you replied to but didn't have in alerts. I hardly ever tag a post to alert me.
