This can be the thread for when you can't find another thread but someone else might know where it is...
I was wanting the thread from Ask that's about the juxtaposition of thread titles that you read at the top of each thread page. Anyone know where it is?
That would be F19585?thread=534826

**wanders completely off-topic on Post 3**
I do like the word 'juxtaposition'. It's got a lovely chunky feel to it.

What thread titles at the top of the page?
(goo-with-frames user speaking)
Having read the thread I'm even more confused.
While I'm here, I would like to revise something I said in a thread once, if only I could find it. Ben (the other one) said, quite rightly, that the "New posts" that show up in your conversation list can only apply to the computer you are on - i.e. it is cookie-related. I thought that it couldn't be, and said so. I was even sure that when I log in at work at lunch time, I only see the new posts since I had last logged in (the night before from my pc at home)
Since then I've been looking a bit more closely and find that she was right - although I often forget to make the effort to remember how far I had got at home/at work the last time, and am so eager to read on in the threads I'm following that I don't bother to keep an exact log.
So the "<number of> New Posts" is cookie-related. But who can explain what happens if I post at work? What do I see in the evening? I have posted, say, three posts back in the thread (from work), but according to the computer I am on (at home), I haven't even looked at the thread for the last 20 posts.
Re #4. Goo with frames user myself. You see over there on the left <---
..scroll down past the red dots  .....
... look at the list of the most current conversation threads in Ask
Are there two together that make an amusing combination?
(eg "what shall I do with this pork chop?" next to "love it or leave it")
Read the thread in #2 for more information, but of course thread order jumps when someone posts. I can't answer #5 I'm afraid.
Does anyone have know where this very old thread is: 'My boyfriend's a big baby'? It was from 2001 or 2002, about a woman in an abusive relationship.
Search/convos isn't working.
Sorry, I've not seen that one.
But I have seen that thread mentioned somewhere else recently
That was me
F19585?thread=148770
coelocanth knows how to find EVERYTHING . . . apparently!
Well done! (however you do it)

Hmmm...she doesn't have any idea where my DVD remote control is, does she?

I'm not sure how I do it really, it's just a case of having the kind of mind that can make connections. As long as I remember reading the thread (even if it was several years ago) I can usually track it even when the search engine isn't working.
In this case I remembered that NYB wrote this: A682058 in January 2002 as a response to the thread, which gave me the approximate date, although I know the thread continued and was revived a few months after that. So I took a bit of a guess at 8 months after the entry. Then it was just a case of clicking through the leds in Ask until I got to the right one in April 2003.
Master B, try the windowsill or the fridge. 
Thanks coelacanth!
MB, also try under the couch and in the dog basket.

We don't have a windowsill, dog or underside to our couch. And, even though I have left things in the fridge before now, it's not there. My money's on it being in Newport.
B
Anyone got the thread where you post an acronym and make up what words the letters start (I didn't explain that very well)?
eg
Maybe
Another
Science
Teacher
Empirically
Right
B*st*rd

Do your connections enable you to trace the conversation forum on the latest conservative party leadership contest?
