How do I find a very old thread?

I'm trying to remember something that happened quite a few years ago and I THINK I posted on here about it.

How far back can you search? Is there an easy way to find all threads posted by someone?

Do an Advanced Search. Use a few keywords, choose the topics you think it might have been in - and try to limit the time-frame (if you can remember when it was).

But if it was in Chat, it will have gone.

Hi Dancer,

Fru is right, advanced search is your best bet. Or if it was particularly note-worthy you might find it in classics!

FruVikingessOla · 15/12/2014 18:15

Dancer, 'classics' can actually be found in the topic named 'Mumsnet Classics' www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics, if that's any help!

I think it might have been in chat. Is it lost forever then??

Just out of interest, how long has MN been going?

Sometimes threads from Chat get moved into Other Subjects www.mumsnet.com/Talk/other_subjects if MNHQ feels the thread doesn't actually rate a move into 'classics'.

Mumsnet was started in 2000.

Chat threads automatically get deleted after 90 days, so if was indeed in Chat, chances are it's gone now - sorry!
