Not sure if this is solvable. Yesterday I looked at my page and I had received a poke from someone. Wondering about this poke, I went to my pokes page and saw that I had to pokes listed. One was a poke from someone that I had received (and not responded to) and it had a date: “ten months ago”.

Then another poke that said: “poked you back”. I can’t for the life of me remember when I had poked this person. Maybe in the distant past. Is there any way to place a date on my original poke. I’d prefer not to ask this person.

At the top bar, click your name eg “Bardos”, and then go to “Activity Log” , and then you can probably search for “poke”.

Should be there, as anything you do is preserved for ever…
