GardenWeb Needs to Correct Email Follow-ups

Posted by lovetogarden z4 NY (My Page) on

I just received an email from Gardenweb that someone had posted a follow-up to my posting. The problem is when I clicked on the link it just brought me to the page (vegetable gardening) and not to the specific posting. Since it had been a while since I had posted on that thread I can't remember, or spend the time, searching for it. I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this thread but I wish Gardenweb would include the link to the specific posting instead of just sending you to a page of threads. Anyone else have this problem? And how can we get Gardenweb to correct this error?

RE: GardenWeb Needs to Correct Email Follow-ups

Because the Veggie Forum is quite a fast moving forum, it is possible that someone, member or nonmember brought up your post via Google and replied to it, even though your post is no longer viewable on the 67 pages of posts there.

Once a thread has dropped off of page 67, it will never be brought back up on page one with any new replies. The thread is just out there is cyberspace, and there isn't really anything that can be done about it, imho.

A Google search of your member name and the subject line would likely find the thread, if you are curious to see if what I'm thinking has happened, really happened. The oldest 'replies' to threads at Veggies is Aug, 2010.

Here is a link that might be useful: For example...a 3 year old thread from the Kitchen Table Forum
