Wheres My Post Accessing difficulties

I can't seem to find it. I would have thought that it needed to be in "General titanica" as it pertained to the parallels of the Titanic victims as opposed to the Katrina victims.

I think it got moved to the OFF TOPIC section. Try checking that out.

What and where is the Off-Topic Section?

All that ever comes up to any such posts is:

So what is the Off-topic topic and how does one locate it?

Since I don't know exactly how you get onto the Board,* Lester, I can't answer your question other than by saying that "Off Topic" (a seldom used topic) should appear in the list of topics you see when you sign on provided you're logged in. If you're not logged in, it doesn't appear.

*There are several ways that I know are used by various members to review Board activity. Just as one example, I use the Last Day page to view the Board. In that view, "Off Topic" is currently below "Marketplace" and above "Passenger Research."

Not in the Tree view and yes I am logged on

Hmmm...I just checked the Tree View, and it's there. And it's not just a moderator thing; ten non-moderator members have posted to the Katrina thread in Off Topic since it was created last week.

Lester, the catalogue page for 'off-topic' threads is here. Hopefully that will get you in:

Hello Mark, well I have never been able to find the Off-Topic thread. - I see it is now in place.

Thank you Bob, the link works.
