Good idea.

There are SO many now and you have to play "guess what the person was thinking who set up the new topic" to find some of them.

LOL at feed the world.

OP posts:
hunkermunker · 27/06/2009 21:55

S'abroad, innit?

jeminthepark · 27/06/2009 21:55

Yeah pack in moaning!

Ledodgy · 27/06/2009 21:55

It is hard to find I agree.

HaventSleptForAYear · 27/06/2009 21:56

I can't find it either.

And I qualify for it!

Have we been zapped?

Dumbledoresgirl · 27/06/2009 21:56

Agree, I too find finding topics a struggle, especially if they happen not to be listed in the initial list but under "more".

PerfectPrefect · 27/06/2009 21:57

If you go to teh topic list
Expand it
press Ctrl & F
When the box comes up type "overseas" and then Internet explorer will find that word for you.

I personally would like the option of having them alphabetical.
Or - even better the option of having a customisable page where you have your favourite topics all in 1 place.

HaventSleptForAYear · 27/06/2009 21:57

God finally found it in Homes and Gardens

By accident.

Could we have topics organised as they are
and also an A - Z topic finder

Tis a pain I agree

hunkermunker · 27/06/2009 21:57

Here you go, Snakey

Ledodgy · 27/06/2009 21:58

OMG who does the filing in this place?

HaventSleptForAYear · 27/06/2009 21:59

Yes customisable page would be great.

I usually just click on the link in a thread title in Active convos (to go to that topic, not the thread).

But living overseas doesn't come up that often.

Whaddaya want anyway snake?

hunkermunker · 27/06/2009 22:00

And come ON, "S'abroad, innit?" was FUNNY, you miserable lot.

southeastastra · 27/06/2009 22:00

Homes and Gardens?
how odd

OP posts:
HaventSleptForAYear · 27/06/2009 22:01

I did have a little at that hunker.

It's late you know.

Abroad

HaventSleptForAYear · 27/06/2009 22:02

So? Are you decamping to Sweden snake?

snigger · 27/06/2009 22:03

We should have a topic finder challenge, a kind of motivated orientation with extraordinary prizes for the poster who can actually find AIBU in order to post in it.

It's sometimes easier to just find a current thread with a suitable topic heading and start a new one via that.

It's like doing someone else's filing, I agree.

She's already abroad, well, Ikea. You can imagine you're on holiday if you screw up your eyes hard enough and eat the meatballs.
