I would say repost it Barbararose, but the reality is that absent a "sticky" function, that thread will soon be just another lost thread. One not particularly satisfying "workaround" is to refind threads/posts worthy of note and create a new thread containing a link to the post, and put a "special" word in the new post's title so that word can be used as a search key in the future. (I know of no way to edit the title of a thread without simply reposting it.) Such word could be something like "stickie", or "repost", or "Look here", but it should be a word/term that is generally agreed upon. Unfortunately, without the ability to note "special" threads, even such a word or term will at some point be "lost in the archives". Of course, should the thread that first notes the "special word or phrase" be resurrected periodically for the next nine years, like the now-infamous "death of a forum" thread, it should become 'corporate culture' at the vermicomposting site. Maybe by then, Garden Web will have upgraded the forum software to include a "stickie" function. By the way, there's more to implementing a "stickie" function than just "poof, you now have a stickie function". Most importantly, it costs money because "stickies" 1) increase storage requirements (in truth trivially, but let's do keep in mind that this site is about money, not "goodness"), and 2) "someone" - usually someone called a "moderator" - has to be the arbiter of what gets "stuck". Either Garden Web modifies the whole forum to allow such administrative control to specific people for each sub-forum, or they have to take that responsibility on themselves. The first means more potential for getting hacked, and the second means modifying the forum administration software. Both cost money. As "difficult" as the above might sound, the truth is that simply using a "modern" forum software package would completely mitigate all the 'trouble' associated with the change, and improve the editor and improve the search engine. BUT, it most certainly would cost money. Paul

Here’s another example. Again without going to Google or other similiar site. Rather, by typing gardenweb.com in the address box, and then entering the search term (in this case, “Mr. Lincoln”) in the search box at gardenweb.com. The first option presented is to search “Mr. Lincoln in Gardenweb“. Which yields: https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/query/%E2%80%98mr.-lincoln%E2%80%99/nqrw As you can see, over 2000 gardenweb Rose forum discussions on Mr. Lincoln, the rose. And you can arrange them by ”latest”, ”relevance”, ”unanswered” or ”popular”. Just like before.

I thought there used to be on each forum but I don't see one anywhere. Maybe the home page....I'm almost sure I tried that before and it came up with all sorts of extraneous crap.... I am positive there's a search function....

When you are on the front page of the Harvest forum, you should see two different search forms. The one to use for results from Harvest only is the one on the top. It doesn't show up well, because it is white on white with pale gray lettering. But the form is to the right (at least in my browser) of the HOUZZ logo which is in the upper left corner. It is working for me today.
