Cimi Posted July 10, 2013 Hi guys, Just wondering if there's an archive somewhere where we can view old threads? I have been looking for one from back in 2010 I think it was and it isn't showing up in searches. Thanks, Cimi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rum and Monkeys Posted July 10, 2013 For old threads, I just go back through the pages, once you find the year, you will eventually find the topic you are after. Maybe if you give everyone some hints, someone might be able to help. I am hopeless at the SE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obtuse Posted July 10, 2013 There is so much info here, it can be a pain in arse to find old stuff. just need to try and work out key terms, for a search. there are no "archives" as such its all tstatic content that exists through the sequence of time have had to the same thing, i know it can take a while .....

Cimi Posted July 10, 2013 Thanks guys. I will try some more searches. I was looking for an old thread started by me about problems I was having with growing cacti from seed. It doesn't appear in my post history. It was either in 2010 or 2011. It had a few pics in it as well. I will keep looking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyAmine. Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I have always found google's site search functions much more effective than the SAB search engine. If you are looking for more results from a certain website, include "site:" in your query. For example, you can find all mentions of "Olympics" on the New York Times website like this:[ Olympics site:nytimes.com ] Tip: Also search within a specific top-level domain like .org or .edu or country top-level domain like .de or .jp.[ Olympics site:.gov ] https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/1734233?hl=en Edited July 10, 2013 by AndyAmine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted July 10, 2013 Only a VERY small portion of this forum is archived. The vast majority is active threads. But the search engine sucks. use google. plenty of threads detailing how to use google effectively for this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cimi Posted July 11, 2013 Thanks all, I found it: http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27457 Weird that it isn't present in my post history through my profile, but I guess it must cut out after a certain point. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
