glueman,

You can click on your name in any of your postings and it will lead you to a listing of ALL of your postings where you can find previous threads, etc.

To keep track of a thread, you can go to the far right of any title listed and choose Trace, as Catspaw suggested, and click on that. That will save a link to that thread on your Personal Page.

Also, as Spaw said, threads drop off of the active list quickly if they are not posted to...to find one enter a word which you remember was in the title, in the search box at the top of the thread titles. Then, use the Drop Down menu to choose a length of time to search. If you've set the filter back long enough, your thread should show up after you hit Go.

Hope this helps,

kat
