Very confusing to find and post on DIY??

[Vincent Hill]

Before I posted on Mini "S" I first looked under techinical and FAQ and DIY and found fixed threads, then I looked a little harder and found what looked like a forum, but not sure! SO I posted here about the 3 piece pulley and see that the thread has been moved! I Then looked and could not find it! Is this some sort of "Secret Hand Shake" place? WHy is it not as easy to find and deal with as the Mini "S" Forum! WHere did the post get moved to? How do normal people find it without knowing in advance and using the search??

I didn't move it, and haven't looked yet, but it's probably in the performace and tuning forum, in the technical and modifications section.

You should either be told, or there should be a redirect left whenever posts are moved.

Yep, here it is: http://www.mini2.com/forum/first-generation-mini-tuning/37938-installing-mini-mania-3-piece-pulley.html

Sorry for any confusion.

Your thread was moved to the Performance forum since it dealt with a performance item. Here it is... http://www.mini2.com/forum/first-generation-mini-tuning/37938-installing-mini-mania-3-piece-pulley.html

The Cooper S forum is run just like the Performance forum, to be honest I'm not even sure what your talking about.

Are you asking how do you know(the creator of the thread) if it's been moved?

Edit: Paul beat me to it

I found it also! What I was asking was how do you find something that has been moved if you do not know where to look for it? This is where I wanted to post it to begin with, but I looked under techinical, somehow expecting to see a forum there! DUMB Me! I all make more sense now and I posted a reply there! . Nobody stupid here (Unless you count me!

Your post was moved with a "redirect" to the PERFORMANCE & TUNING forum. Scan down the left hand margin of the COOPER S forum, looking for a . Then read the thread title next to "Moved:". If it is your thread, click the title and the thread will be opened in the forum to which it's been moved.

Normally, a moderator will not notify the originator of a thread which has been "moved with a redirect".

An easier way of finding the thread would have been to click on the navigation bar under the Sponsors banner near the top of the page to do a "Search titles only".
