old thread

How do i look up a old thread from 2012?

You could ask some of the necro-threaders that raise threads from years ago.

There is the search feature just above here and below the thread name. Also if you actively participated in the thread you can just click on your user name and it can list all the posts you made.

There are heaps of those

Use the force
These are not the threads you are looking for

Use the search function
