Here's a little tip for anyone who wants to read their old C4 forum posings. C4 have closed the forum so you cannot access postings direct, but you can access them indirectly through search engines. I generally use Google so this tip is based on that site, but other search engines may have similar abilities.
To get a list of postings where you have made a posting or other users have referred to your name do a search using the following:
site:community.channel4.com "your username"
"your username" should of course be the one used for the C4 forum. The quotation marks are needed if your name is more than one word, but not needed if just one word.
You will get a list of the links to the postings. Don't click on the header shown for the posting as that will not work, but click on Cached
You will then go to the the page where your posting appeared.
There are limitations to this method. The page appears to be shown in a plain text format. You cannot access other pages to the thread from the cached screen, only by selecting from the search engine listings. Google only does caches every few days, so postings made towards the 30 April may not have been cached. I don't think that you can find postings which had been deleted by C4, though I may be wrong. And finally, I don't know how long Google etc hold cached screens before removing them.
Hope this helps.
PS If your Google search produces too long a list, you can of course filter this down by adding appropriate words after your username in the search parameter in the same way as any search query.
