Help Finding Threads On The Forums

[Debra Arif]

I've spent ages this evening looking for an old thread on here about the'Embankment Killer' and Crickmer, I added a lot of information on the torso murders to this thread and really need to find it again as i've lost some of my old notes and need a few references from it.
Can anyone help locate it?
Also, what happens to older threads? do they get deleted or archived and become unsearchable as I also posted some information on a thread about Mary Jane Rees (not the one that comes up in a search started by peter young) and I need something I posted to that thread too.

Thanks for any help locating either.

Could this be it? Howie had it listed among notable threads:

James Crickmer

Recent revelations on a murder on the Thames Embankment by A.P. Wolf.

Thanks for trying , Chris, but the first link is to an invalid thread, which is the same problem I encountered when looking for it and the second link to Mary jane Rees is the thread I mentioned in my post as being started by peter young and isn't the one I wanted .There was one that had research on Abi Kelly of Lanelli and some adverts that Mary Jane Rees used in the press which I posted on there and really want to find again.

[Chris G.]

Then I suggest you get Tim or Howard to figure it out for you. Good luck. Are you sure you posted these items here... or could they be at Casebook?

Of course I'm sure they were on here.
The MJRees thread had a little story about 'Teutonic' posted on it by Paul Begg.

If the posts are more than a certain age, Howard has archived them elsewhere and deleted them from the site in the interest of bandwidth. Also, he thinks that the hoi polloi will be willing to pay $20 for a CD of the old stuff. Imagine.

Chris's first link was to The Embankment Killer of 1888 & 1889 and it works fine for me. This is found in the General Jack T. Ripper forum.

I think that the material which you seek, if it isn't in the thread above, must be in Howard's possession. We'll have to wait until he returns from visiting his parole officer to ask him.

Ok, thanks. I normally keep copies of articles I post but I've switched computer and lost some of them
I still can't get the link Chris posted to work it just links to an invalid thread for me. :( I've also tried searching through user CP and threads I have posted on but can't get it that way either. I'll wait until How is around then.

[How Brown]

Wait no longer,little lady...

Here is the Embankment Killer thread....

Tim has to manipulate something in the control panel for all the posts to show up....but they will very shortly.

How

I have one more to put up as well....

[How Brown]

Debs:

Sorry for the slow reply but I had just wasted 45 minutes on a story from 1927...which I didn't realize was available elsewhere. I used 16 scans for it and it was time consuming.

One more for you.

Don't fret. All the posts will appear shortly. They're there and I've seen them.

Thanks How, do you mean the posts on the threads you linked to will come up shortly? I still get an invalid link message from the two you just posted...do I need to wait a while? It's ok if I do, just checking it's not something on my end though. :thumb:

[How Brown]

Debs:

As soon as Tim ( and I have already sent him the message to correct the problem) changes a setting, they'll be there.

Hopefully, he's not in the bathroom doing research on number two for installment number 2 of his Ripperologist series on the Victorian Loo. You may have a looooooooong wait.

[Debra Arif]

As long as he hasn't taken a copy of war and peace and 40 woodbines with him.
I'll check back in the morning, cheers How.

[admin tim]

Try now.

Actually, this was research for the 5th and final installment. I flushed a beef bladder down the john and it has taken hours to clean up.

[How Brown]

Thanks Tim.
Does anyone have any problem viewing the threads in question ?
If so, please let us know.

Debs:

Here's one on Mrs. Rees :
