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?

I do like the word 'juxtaposition'. It's got a lovely chunky feel to it.

What thread titles at the top of the page?

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 " 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

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.

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.
