Help my Search Fu

Yesterday, I had someone respond to me about a trade we had discussed 3 weeks ago. I tried to go back and find his original posting and was unable to do so. So I need help finding it. It was in the Warhammer 40k Sell/trade section and I responded on May 7th so his posting was likely on that date or shortly before. The posters name was cyagen. When I tried looking up his name it said he had posted 5 times but only would list three of them, and this was not one of them.

Thanks for the help in advance,

Larry

There is a link above to show your posts. Click rhat and it should help.

When I click it, it will only show my last three posts. Is there a way to get it to show older posts?

Thanks!

Posts have a 20 day life span in the trade threads.
You can't find it because it was auto-scrubbed.

Thanks Eric. I missed it by two days. At least I know for future reference.

A couple bits of advice - for everyone - that can help with trades.

1) Trade threads scrub from the site after 20 days. Don't have conversations in the thread about trades, take them to PM... and don't rely on the trade ad to hold the information about the items you were trading for. Paste that information into the first PM you send (actually, it'll auto post to it when you hit the "Send PM button... Don't delete it)

2) Always quote the PM you're responding to (and request that the other trader do so, as well). This way, if some PM's accidentally get deleted (including your "Sent" PM's, you'll have copies (this presumes you BOTH are quoting the other guys' PM's.

Admittedly, I don't do both of these, but I trade so infrequently that losing information from the trade never comes up.
