Hi Celia,
Just a thought, but if you can remember the names or some of the details it might help you to try the Search facility .. ?
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=search
I've just tried it on the off chance for some of mine .. and it worked.
Kind regards,
Pels.

Sometimes I cheat and just google it....if you put in some of the best phrases you can remember and your username then quite often it brings up the posts and you can go straight there.....
Of course - quite often it doesn't work but it is a lot quicker (and easier on the rootschat server) than using search...

Hi Celia
I've got lots 
I've also got a good memory and remember the odd word or name of the person I was helping and the likely board, so I often use the other person's name if the keyword doesn't show in the RC search.

I have been moved back to class 1
Hi all,thats the thing you see i cant remember any particular words or people .If i could find my old Pilot look up topic,which i cant,it would be easier because people i want are all on topic.The reason i wanted to find it,is because i still have on my computer.The Liverpool pilots plus there boats from the directories 1827/1853 and i think 1894.I recognize a few of the pilots names from my reseach.So i was hoping to find the person the pilot belongs to.
I will try some of your suggestions,
Celia I haven't used google before so i will try that

Google is just a search engine thingy like "Lycos" or "Ask Jeeves" or -whatever ... although "to google" has now become a verb as it is the most popular.
You can use any..But if you are new to google then try
www.google.co.uk
or
www.google.com

Just has 'Error off limits" etc. I checked up and the new thread started last Sept-ish. I did some searches but to no avail. I've done chops through Celia's posts and the occupations board and the Lancashire board - lookups requests and offers and completed - nothing at all. So where is it

Why don't you use the rootschat search facility?
For example using the keyword "pilot" posted by user "celia" comes up with about a dozen posts amongst which you should easily be able to find the one you for which are looking.

We've already done that, David - none of them are the right thread.
