3. How do I find a lost topic?
A. The point of this is to show you how to find topics you think may be lost.
For the record, we don't delete topics here.. well, for the most part that is true. We delete the RSS feeds that didn't get any replies, and topics that break the rules, but that is it. The reason you can't find the topic you are looking for is because the forum you posted it in hides topics that haven't been replied to in 30 days.
To find it, you can do either of the following:
A. Use the "Search" feature.
B. Go to your profile by clicking on your username. and then click the "Topics" tab.
Your profile shows the last 5 topics you started.. so if you reply to others' topics, more than you start your own, then this may help you.
C. Go to the forum that you posted it in, and then change the display settings from "30 days" to "beginning" in the area that says "Showing topics sorted by" then click the button that says "Go." Once you do that, it will show every topic from the time you chose, and then you can just go from there.
If you know where you posted your topic, you can also do a "keyword search" from within that forum.
