Once I saw someone on here tell peopll how to get previous/old versons of web pages up on google, and I'd like to do that.

There was a thread on here that was deleted and I want to see what was said on it for it to be deleted 😂

It was something about clicking on a little button/icon next to the link, but i'm not seeing it when i search the thread title.

I found it. It wasn't working on chrome, I tried it in Edge and it worked:

If you want to view the relatively newer version of any website, you can view the pages cached by search engines.
To do so, search the page you want to see, click the drop-down arrow beside the result’s URL, and click on Cached. The search engine will then display the latest cached version of the page instead of the live one. On Google, you will view Cached after clicking on the three-dot icon.
If you use Chrome and already know the exact URL whose cached version you want to view, you can append cache: before the URL in the address bar (for example, cache:makeuseof.com). This way, Google will show you the cached version instead of the live page.
Beware that clicking on any link on the cached page will take you to the live web. You can also use Google Cache viewer tools for this purpose.

You could try the Wayback machine page: https://web.archive.org/

They take snapshots of websites and save them in an archive. Here's the list of active topics on MN on 6th March of this year:
