Members may not believe this, but it is initially hard for a newbie to find their unique post asking a question, especially if they are not used to how forums generally work. When I first joined, I had issues finding my way around (my issues, not the owner.
)
For example, there was a motorbike thread that I liked and watched, and later couldn't find. It turned out that it was because that hugely talented member had changed his user name.
People often ask a forum a question, wait a wee while, and if no-one replies they ask somewhere else. That's the way of things, and all we can do is the best each of us can.
