    Oh no, no. They're still around in fact. They do exist - there's no theory about it. You just have to go to the sections, find the threads you'd posted in and read through those, to find all your old (SMF based) posts.

        I'm clearly still not used to this new format. The only threads I can find I either recently active or in the graveyard, which I know can't be everything. Doesn't this forum have numbered pages you can click to go back to previously listed threads?

          Yeah, all the old stuff has to be manually hunted down, section by section, thread by thread, or just browsed up, in the Archives. As people continue with their discussions, talking about things that are meaningful, or whatever, all on the new format (which by now, actually, isn't all that new, anymore) the transition line fades into obscurity. Ancient history. With some tens of thousands of posts since the software change, the few dozen that first disappeared, Post-Crash, won't be as significant.

          Simply put: If you need to find an old post? Go look for it. Searching and history won't show it. Otherwise, post more and you'll see more of your history. (Such as, if the topic was that near and dear to you, bring it up again. See if people want to dig into it again.)

            A shortcut, though somewhat imperfect, enter

            in a google search bar. It will miss things but it should pick up a decent number of your old posts.

              Thank you MaskedOne, this solution does actually seem to find some of my posts. As for simply looking through the forums though, that had actually occurred to me. I wasn't just being lazy. I am still struggling to believe that every thread is here.

                Google's advanced search options are useful to know. I use it more to look for cache data from threads that really are gone but it can also help you find the vast majority of threads since the major crash last winter. Otherwise, trust the Admins, if you made the post in the past 5-6 months then you've got something like a 95% of finding it. I've spent enough time backtracking through the catacombs that I can say with absolute certainty that a crapload of posts exist from the previous SMF software that can't be found through your user profile.

                  Its possible that a few went missing while trying to sort things out at first with the new software...but if so, its a negligible amount. Some threads were put into the archives that are visible to everyone and some (mainly ones that looked like spam, that were intros, games, quizzes, etc) were put in the hidden archives to be sorted thru.

                    Getting back to blogs...

                    I created my first blog post today, but when I tried to give it tags, I received a message that I could not create new tags. Is there a list of existing blog tags anywhere?

                      Indian Chief 'Two Eagles' was asked by a white government official; "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."

                      The Chief nodded in agreement.

                      The official continued; "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"

                      The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied.. "When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine Man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex."

                      Then the chief leaned back and smiled; "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
