Aulanis Posted December 26, 2020 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hi @ORV Posted as a test as its nothing to do with the original thread. OK well I had bits of info from the start it was a post of yours probably from 2015. It was about Oceania. & probably about Riviera regarding doorways. I first looked in the "help" section and there were a couple of posts by CC manager which suggested they would be keeping posts for 12 years. That didnt help find them but suggested they would be somewhere ,so not a "dead horse" I tried again the steps I posted earlier searched with dates spanning 2014 -2016 for words like doors entrances maybe even decks and so on. I thought I would be inundated with responses but "not found" seemed to feature a lot. Dont really know why but I noticed at some point that the Oceania forum had over 700 pages. I was on a roll after that picked page 700 and that came up with year 2004 threads, page back and dove? in at a few points until 2015. It was then a bit more laborious as I had no idea when - maybe there was a search parameter to speed things up but I just started Dec 15 and worked back. There was no hurry and I have time to do these daft things! I skimmed the titles looking for something relevant but as said ended up reading many of the threads. We went on the Marina from Chile to Papeete and actually managed to get ashore 2 days on Easter Island. It was a great cruise marred ony by the exit from Papeete. I couldnt believe that the problem has gone pretty much un resolved. O simply wouldnt tell us what we would get on the last day for IIRC 95USD pp Ended up booking a night at the airport motel or some such place not that we stayed. for the night Had a tour around the Island an went to the hotel for a shower and rest, then left at maybe 10pm for the airport. I think the tour and the hotel cost around USD100. Shower was a waste of time - needed another one after we had been at the airport for 30 minutes.LOL So short version ( Relatively) Go to Boards pick one "Holland America" Under "start new topic" 1 2 3 4 5 6 NEXT Page 1 of 4611 Click on "1 of 4611" Enter 4611 Comes up with threads from 2004 If it is one of your threads you will be able to guess the year so the number entered where I entered 4611 is lower as you get to todays date so year 2012 is halfway between 2004 & 2020 so enter (By sheer coincidence) 2012 for the page number - Brings up threads for 2011 so getting close. Year 2012 is actually on page 1957. Still a little hit & miss as there is an overlap of thread start date and last post? Perhaps you can try a search - its easier to do than write how to do it! Maybe as an experiment you could go to your Rambling thread and try to post something in it then see if it shows in your "activity" searches Dont think it pulls out Roll Calls and same facility is not available for Roll Calls - have not worked out how to find a roll call for say 2005 I have sent a "Feedback how can we improve this page" on the search page and maybe after new year I will follow it up. Will let you know if I come up with anything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aulanis Posted January 22, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted January 22, 2021 And now for something completely different Good Afternoon @wowzz got a bit further with the spreadsheet and thought I would show it to you first. Maybe as we may not get to go you might put the link on the roll call when I add a bit more. This link is read only but I will give you another one that can be edited by all. I will do the monitoring and will add things for those who think they cant do it themselves.:) if they ask in the roll call. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13PA4pC6g346Y3xQ4oChxc2H8Y4C9LhXz92XoG1bUOD0/edit?usp=sharing Its almost finished just need to look up av temps etc then I can post back here with the proper link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might wait until you have finished everything before posting it on the roll call. Is that ok with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aulanis Posted January 22, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Good Evening @wowzz Ok looks ok enough to roll out now. I can add more stuff if required US seem to like a slotpull cabin crawl and so on. Tho they may not be allowed. I will pick up from posts or anyone can add their own details. What details are added is up to them. I dont usually have the option of adding email addresses but again that can be an option. It is accessible on PC Laptop Phones tablets but not sure what it might look like on Ipads or Mac Apple & Google dont always get on:) Maybe ask them to just add at the bottom of the list it will be sorted in alphabetically later. Dont worry about getting it wrong or a total mess up - it can be fixed, but perhaps post advising. I havent heard but would guess a normal M&G will not be allowed but the page can be used for an informal meeting if that is allowed. Will just have to see what happens but best to prepare. Min number for an M&G is 25 so may not even get that. I will not have anything to do with the arrangements, if one is allowed. ( even if we get to go) LINK https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13PA4pC6g346Y3xQ4oChxc2H8Y4C9LhXz92XoG1bUOD0/edit?usp=sharing Thank you Edited January 22, 2021 by Aulanis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any reason why you cannot put your link directly into the roll call - I'm just not sure what my role is in this?
