Are our older posts available somewhere?

I'd like to get the text from a post that I wrote and send it on to someone, but It's nearly a year old. Is it completely gone?

Thanks

Do you need to put the forum name in quotes, or your DU handle, or ???

I picked out some key words that seemed pretty specific to that post, but no luck.

Thanks for the reply.

is the best but I think that you need a star to be able to use it.

If you have a general idea of when you posted it, this search allows you to put your name as the poster, the forum or group if you now it, and a range of dates.

Or you don’t have to specify forum, the default is “main” - the biggies.
