"Can I get the old stuff back"? Yes, via web caches

[Sadtaco]

If you have something you posted on the forums but never had saved locally, say some writing submission or some discussion you really want to look over again, there is likely a cache on the web for it.
Can also get the old pages for info, install guides, and blah blah there.
 

Step 1:  ctrl+h and find the url for it.

Step 2: Enter the url into http://cachedview.com/

There you go.

Good idea! Totally didn't think about that!

Shame that it can't work with all the stuff I had saved as PM drafts.

Still a good option for many people.

Good job, Taco.

Good taco.

If you can't find a page's URL in your browser history or bookmarks, you can still use Google to search for the thread by adding "site:fenoxo.com" to the search terms. Google will spit out links that no longer work, but it will also display the thread URL. This will probably work until the next time Google crawls the site.

Yeah, that's a good point for now, but eventually Google will correct that automatically soon enough.
