You lost the thread again Fans?????



If they were your threads and you haven't deleted them, they should be in your old threads.

If they were started by someone else, look in Advanced Search (not that it's very helpful these days).


On the other hand, your lost threads could be with your lost marbles. :-P

Yep,lost me marbles,cant remember if I had that particular thread on HIDs(now defunct) account or mine :-D

But I DO remember the name of the person I had asked for help with,so that is a good start for me,specially as it aint Jones/Davies/Taylor or Evans :-P :-P :-P

Now if you go to advanced search and put in your name FannyByGaslight

Then put a couple of words in the seach...you may then find them on any of the 7 boards...probably not on announcements though

Give it a try

Or you could trawl through your 11.000 + plus threads...which you will find under "my Threads"

Good luck :-D

Go to my threads, and click on the last post header - that puts them in order.
(If it's backwards i.e., oldest first, then click again).

Your listed boardname on old posts is changed to your current boardname.

Found out how to do it mgnv,but it keeps the boardname you were using at the time for your OP,just changes your BN after when you reply to peeps that have replied,if you can understand that ,clear as mud I am

If you are going to change your name every 5 minutes...then its your own fault you cannot find them :-)
