I can't find the thread I started

[Wez]

For some reason when looking in the content I started or content I posted in, there's no sign of my French Fancy 2 thread, why not?

 

I can find it in the forum and by searching through my notifications but otherwise it seems to have disappeared from my activity threads.

That's the one, it wasn't showing in either threads I'd started or posted in.

All sorted now thanks Julien, whatever jiggerypokery went on behind the scenes worked.

That truly is amazing. I've never been able to find anything using this sites search function, I always have to resort to Google.

For me, it wasn't that I couldn't find it by searching, it was a case of of it not showing in my activity in either content I started or content I posted in, it was like it didn't exist, most bizarre and puzzling.

 

It's all carrying on as if it was normal now.

I've found that you have to be a bit sneaky with the search function on the site, and pick a word with at least 4 letters (no minus signs - ) that is most likely to pull the the answer you're looking for.  Also make sure you narrow your search by filling in the radio buttons that drop down when you search.  I usually choose an appropriate "this forum", "this topic" or whatever, and use the "All search terms" option to avoid spurious results from including the word "the" or something else that's common.  Failing that the Google option is a good one:

"The B-29 Big Bottomed Girl" site:britmodeller.com

It's a good search tool, and is useful to search any site, just by changing the domain name accordingly

I just searched for that and yours was the only result on Google. I think you just created a Googlewhack

Not to be picky, but I suspect someone would call foul on that one due to it being self-referencing.

One of mine disappeared off the face of the earth today, very curious.

Firstly, think back to whether it broke any rules. If that's not likely, go to your profile and click Find Content or whatever the button is called. That will show all your recent posts in chronological order
