How do I access an old question?

[kayakamina]

Someone has referred me to an answer I gave in June 2007. I do not know the subject matter only the question number.
I tried entering the number in the search box but drew a blank.
Rather than scrolling back 20 pages at a time can anyone tell this klutz how to bring up and read the relevant question?

i know you say you don't know the subject matter, but do you know what section it was posted under? if so, you can go direct to the webpage eg. this question is: www.theanswerbank.co.uk/quizzes-and-puzzles/question552001.html
sorry if 'section' is what you meant by 'matter'!

If you look at the bottom of your profile it may tell you. I havent actually used this as yet

Thanks I'll give it a shot.

I knew my answer had to be in response to a crossword question but didn't know enough information about it to successfully reach it via the search box.

Very grateful to you.

Best I can come up with is entering 'kayakamina */06/07' in the search facility. This brings up all your entries for last June but looking through those 413 entries should be quicker than scrolling back through the pages. Good luck!

What is the question number?

[kayakamina]

Thanks also to burston for your suggestion. The trouble is I've answered over 16000 questions and sometimes several hundred in a month, but thank you for trying to help.

[kayakamina]

Success !

Thanks to everyone for your contributions.

If you replace this posting's number (552001) in the address box at the top of the screen with the question number you're looking for then click on the search button this should bring up the right one.

Thanks again Julie that would have been even quicker.

I've learned something today!

Sorry for the redundant answer above, but your success message wasn't there when I started typing.

Glad you've found it.
