If you can do that it's help throw a lotb of lioght on all the "Mudcat ain't what it was" discussions.

Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to time warp the forum like that (I hope I'm wrong) - but what you can do is try to track down a particular thread using the SuperSearch, and putting in some word or phrase you are sure was used in it. (And mess around with upper and lower case here, because though a brilliant facility, it can be a pernickety beast - recently there was a search going on for a thread about "chickens", and it only turned up when someone tried searching for "Chicken".)

And the other thing you can do is click on the name of someone you know posted in that thread, and up come a set of links to all their posts, and you take it from there.
