Option 1: On the page that lists all threads, scroll down to the bottom of the list and type your name in the "Search" box. (Use the Search box at the bottom of the list, not the top of the page) If you just want to search the Kitchens Forum, select the "This Forum" radio button (it should default to selected). If you want to search all iVillage/GardenWeb Forums, select the "Entire Site" radio button. Select the "Search" button The search results will include all threads you started, posted on, or are mentioned. If you selected "This Forum", only the three Kitchens Forum sites will be searched (three sites: Discussions, Conversations, Gallery) If you selected "Entire Site", all GardenWeb sites will be searched Notes: Only somewhat recent threads will be retrieved (last year or two, usually). If you're looking for a very old thread, see Option 2. iVillage/GardenWeb uses "indexes" for searches. However, they only refresh/update the indexes once every 24 hours (sometime overnight). This means that you will not be able to find threads started today - you will need to wait until the next index refresh/update is run. However, Google is refreshed continually, so use Option 2 if you're looking for a thread started today. Option 2: Go to Google.com (or other search engine) and type the following in the search box: newdad site:ths.gardenweb.com The results will be similar to "Entire Site" from Option 1 but will include cached versions of old threads.

Look at the bottom of the forum discussion list and maybe search your name.

Click Garden Forums in the box on the left (under All Discussions). Then go to the top of the page and type canishel (in Garden Forums should show after the entry). If you want to search in a specific forum, such as Name That Plant, do the search entry while in the Name the Plant forum pages. You were probably in the Home Forums while doing your earlier search, so only got Home Forum results. Let me know if my explanation is not sufficiently clear.

Go into your profile. Click on 'Activity', then click on 'Posts Started'. They will appear in reverse consecutve order (most recent first). Unless you start many, many new threads (posts), it shouldn't be very difficult to go through to find the one you want. I don't know how or even if you can search your theads by topic or by forum.
