Where is that darn thread?

This place is massive. There are posts here which are invaluable and not located in that form anywhere else on the net.

I find myself struggling to find a particular post I read sometime ago..

I know some of you are very good locating stuff here.

I've often wondered if this sort of thread could exist here, so I felt I'd initiate one. It's a tool for those times when you just need help (from one of our sisters here) locating a specific post you thought you could find another time easily...but failed in doing so (and didn't bookmark it  :-\ ).
Anyone else struggling to find a elusive thread here..feel free to use this as a tool, revive it or whatever. I know we're often automatically prompted to reconsider reviving, bumping and the like..so if this is a bad idea, mods, please delete this post or edit this paragraph out. But I'd still need to locate that darn post/thread.

For instance: The post/thread I'm seeking was penned by a girl asking for us to look over her checklist of things to do before her trip to Thailand for her SRS. Much awesome advice ensued. It was a very helpful thread. I've often wanted to C/P it to a little primer I'm compiling in a word doc for my looming Thailand SRS trip, but now I cannot locate it. Has anyone seen that thread? It seemed to be this earlier this year sometime..I could be mistaken. I wasn't sure if it was Calico, or one of the other gals here..but just maybe..someone can offer help with a link?

PS: I just thought..if it's uncool bumping or reviving a stale thread (being a newbie, I have no idea if that's bad behavior)..why not PM me with any results?

Much grass,

:D

Hi Hon,

The search function is pretty good, just type in any keywords you can think of.

Mods will help when we can, but we get busy!

Oh I've tried and tried that for about two days now, and using all kinds of terms. I cannot really remember the post title or the OP. So that's why I posted this here ~ as a last resort and perhaps a tool for others. I didn't mean to roust mods though, as I know you guys are very busy...sorry about that. I'm sure others have had the same problems though, and figured this might do it....

I've tried the search function for threads when I knew the exact name. It NEVER gave me that thread.

Lol, well..seems I explained it pretty well (made it pretty purple), because it worked! Proper thank you to FA! The first link is the correct one. I guess I was using words that were close..like "Checklist, Check, list, Thailand, SRS", but I didn't search "checking, Thailand". For this site, they were very general search terms, too. Lots of results. And I've had that same problem before too, LordKAT.

I figured this was a good idea. Maybe it will help others find lost threads.
