I tried the thread search and couldn’t find the thread. I tried searching who I thought started it but couldn’t find it.

If I’m looking for a specific older thread where would I post the description?

Call me crazy, but wouldn’t it have been simpler (and quicker) to just post your question here and let the staff move it or whatever if need be? In any case, I’ve seen any number of “Where Is That Thread” questions posted here in ATMB and none were moved, that I’m aware of.

Yes, it would have been quicker. And were I not completely exhausted and distracted and whatever I probably would have thought of that. My logical thinking skills are not well today.

Anyway, I found the thread.

This was an exercise in stupidity.

Mods please close.

Eh, don’t feel bad. It doesn’t help that you have to wait five minutes between failed attempts. Utterly ridiculous.
