what happens to old posts?
Comments (4)Theoretically they're supposed to hang around, but there have been several times in the past few years when they've had to sort of reboot the whole thing and lost large numbers of older posts. Searching with google et al will give you a much longer search period than the feeble forum search, too. EDIT In some cases older threads may be cached at google when the originals aren't here anymore, too.

Comments (35)I agree, but Houzz would have had to have a separate server to retain all those posts. I guess it set a time limit and space limit on retained posts, so we lost a ton, but every now and then, I see some older posts pop up from someone's search. I think they did away with all the 90s and only kept those from the 2000s, because I've seen a few pop up from 2003 and 2005. Sadly, the early days were the best, when there were so many more members and so much great information....See MoreWhat happened to Old Garden Web?
Comments (3)I don't have the access to the Advanced profile settings... I went to the Updated GardenWeb section FAQ, and tried to read real quick some of the questions, how to keep your profile name, comments etc, I didn't find a email amoungst the 3000 listed in my yahoo junk pile, so I clicked on "I did not receive an email" so they sent me an email to confirm ( OMG this is such a major hassal, I feel for the ones who are not savy) sooooo I confirm my email and when it came to the new log in page, Houzz says, looks like you already have an account ( YESsss I had one before they merged with GW ) soooo now I do not have the same name as GW nor do I see how to add my zone and other stuff... I love reading Garden Web, but not very happy right now....See MoreIf you were on the old Garden Web, what was your 'name' there?
Comments (86)This has been interesting! I used to love surfing around on Gardenweb! I’m not very techy at all but I could do it. Houzz has been confusing a bit and sometimes I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone. It’s exciting to see some of these names from way back! Definitely remember My3dogs, Palimpset, and Magnaverde for sure! Why do they mess with success? I’m not even sure what my user name was back then. Maybe Deborah 1950? A funny story. Several years ago I was at Home Depot researching ranges. I told the guy my 40” Kenmore Elite electric range story about how the oven hadn’t worked for a few years and I’d been told no parts available. (Everyone is now so tired of this story, including me). Anywa, he was on his computer and says, “Here’s somebody else with the same problem!”...See MoreOldDutch (Zone 4 MN)
