Thread Disappeared

[owensdj]

I started a thread in the General Hardware category back a few months ago. I did a search for any posts made by my user name, but it didn't find that thread. What could have happened to it?

DO a search for archived messages?

2. If you are having trouble locating a thread do not ask the forum moderators or administrators where it might be as there are millions of messages in this forum; knowing where one is, is impossible.

Taken from the faq. Given this, your post isn't really a forum issue. Maybe it'd be better off in OT?

Azraele, it is a forum issue because I know where the thread should be, it's just not there. The search should have found it unless LinuxIdiot's suggestion is true and it's archived.

Well did you try searching archived threads?

more then likely its been archived, I think they arechive threads 45 days from the date they were created. Zuni would have to be more specific on that one, because I just don't know.

Not true. Just search the archives and you can find threads from ~2000.

Yep.

Which one of these is it?

Googlegear shipping
memory errors
cheap monitor
SATA vs ATA
dell memory
duplicate SCSI ID's
HD cooling
new os
CS vs MS/SL
file server
ATA VS SCSI

That is a list of every thread you started all the way back to June. Please read the FAQ on this new feature the internet has called "serarching". There is a button right under the drop down box where you select the forum.

Evadman, it's that first one called Googlegear shipping. I found it too when I searched for the archived threads. I didn't realize that it was old enough to be archived.
