Hello Charles, it's been a while. I would like to know how to recover my old poetry thread.

Couple of ways.
One, you can go to the Poetry forum, go back in time
to where you think they are.

Or two, you can click on your forums posts (beneath
your forum pic) and also trace it timewise.

I am going to put here how to go back further than
the 25 pages that show:

How can I see someone's old posts?
You can click on the 'Posts #' beneath their forum picture.
Or, if you cannot find that:
http://mingle2.com/forum/show_posts_by_user/4098123

Where the 'XXXXXXXs' represent the user-number.
If you know the user-name, you can right-click on
it anywhere (profile, forum, mail, etc.) which
renders a drop-down menu, select 'Properties' and
copy the URL (link shown)..the last digits of
which will be their user-number.

Place that number where the 'XXXXXXXs' are above.

To see beyond the 25 pages shown, merely change
the last digits in the address bar to represent
ascending numbers.

This is easiest if you click on a page first, like 25,
at the bottom.

As an example, if I clicked on Page 25 of your posts,
the address bar would read thus:
http://mingle2.com/forum/show_posts_by_user/XXXXXXX?page=25

To see beyond Page 25, you would change the 25 in the
address bar to 259, or 500, or as far back as you can find :-)

Found these in Poetry:
http://mingle2.com/topic/366744 (46 pages back)
http://mingle2.com/topic/365602 (66 pages back)
http://mingle2.com/topic/365747 (66 pages back)
http://mingle2.com/topic/364678 (67 pages back)
http://mingle2.com/topic/364697 (67 pages back)
http://mingle2.com/topic/363137 (68 pages back)

Now, I think this last one may be the one you seek as it went multiple pages.
If not, these were found looking back in Poetry.
So start beyond 68 pages to look more.
Easier for you might be the other method as only you know WHEN
you posted it and perhaps the title :-)

Thank you, Soufie
