I posted here meta thread in the technology community

Later, I discovered that someone asked me a question. I’d forget the link. Their reply was buried in a mountain of replies I’d gotten to a post I’d made. Someone else saw their question and was able to point them to the right spot though.

Out of curiosity, I tried several ways to re-find that post in Technology. No sorting process seemed to show it though. I can only get back into that topic by following the link in my profile to the comment I made. Not ideal. If I haven’t commented, I’d have no way right now to rediscover that topic and see how the conversation is developing.

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry if this is a repost. It looked like my post didn’t go through the first time I created it.

    I’m not sure what a good answer is other than to use the search feature.

    FYI: you put the text inside of the brackets and URL in the parens [text](URL) for hyperlinks.

      Thx for the tip. I tried links that way first, but it didn’t seem to work. The URL just showed up as text. I guess lots of these issues may be due to the site getting slammed??
