My thread is missing?

There could be a few reasons that your not able to see the thread in the location where you originally posted:

1. Your thread might have been merged with an existing thread on similar topic. Go to Quick Links->My Posts. Browse through it and you will find the listing of all your posts. You can locate the thread you are searching from that list.

2. Your thread might have been moved to another sub-forum, where it fits well. Go to Quick Links->My Threads and you should see all your threads listed. You can locate the thread you are searching from that list.

3. Your thread might have violated the forum etiquette and might have been deleted.

4. You might not have fully submitted the thread. Sometimes, you will be able to preview a message. But before you submit, if something went wrong with either the interent connection, website accessibility, system timeout, etc. then there is a possibility of losing the message.

If your thread fell into none of the above categories and is still missing, please explain below by clicking on "Post Reply" button at the bottom left. We will be happy to look into it and respond. Thank you.

W.r.t the point 4, I experienced the same yesterday due to a sudden system shutdown. This was in response to a post on IIT coaching classes.

I am trying to search for my post and found that my reply did not get submitted. So I tried searching for the original post but I find it very difficult.

Is there any easy way to search for a post? I tried the search options given. Unfortunately I dont remember the name of the user who has posted it.

Can you help?

Thanks

Hi Vase,

Search is the most easiest way to find the thread that you are looking for. You don't have to know the name of the thread starter to find the thread. Search for some keywords that you remember, like "IIT" or "Coaching" or a phrase that you remember reading in that thread. I am sure that after a few searches you would be able to find the thread that you are looking for.

On the purple bar above, click on Search and type the keywords in the box beneath "Google Search". Thanks Vase.
