Looking for a discussion you thought was here? One of three things could have happened.

  1. It could have been launched or "discarded". Check here. Discarded just means that someone thought it had come to a resolution not needing a launch. It can be restored. Just push the "restore" button on the Launches list.
  2. It could still be here, but no one has replied to it in a few days. Bump up the "keep" days, below. Fractions of a day (.25) also works, if you want to see only really fresh items.
  3. You thought you had written it up or read it here, but it was all just a dream or an elaborate daylight fantasy. Don't feel bad. It happens to us all.
Set "keep" date to: days.
