On page 3 or 4 under the topic "Yosemite climbing pics" there are about 30 slides turned pics of big climbs in Yosemite with names, places, etc. But there are about 3 pages of comments before you get to the pics. Can these be removed in order to view the gold mine of pics?

Hi Amanda! I believe you're right - you may have accidentally deleted your first post, which leaves the appearance that the whole thing has vanished. Luckily, not true!
The thread is still at http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=658634
Simply click on that URL, and you'll go to it - there's no title, and the first post is gone, but everything else appears to be there. 60 posts or so.
All you need to do is go to your last post, the one with all the photos with the captions. Click on the "edit" button at the bottom. The post will then appear on your screen. Right click with your mouse, with the cursor over the post. The little menu will offer "select all", which you should choose. The post then gets highlighted in blue. Right click on it again, then select "copy". That puts the full content of that post only somewhere in your computer.
You then go back to the bottom. DON'T click the box that says "delete this post". DON'T. (A little X or check mark appears inside it if you have.) Instead, just click on "save changes" - even though you haven't made any change. The entire old thread then re-appears. Then click on "Return to Forum", which brings you back to the front page.
You then start your new thread - click on "Post new topic". Give it a title. Right click on the box that the post actually appears in. One of the icons is "paste". Click on that one - the entire content from the old post should re-appear. Then simply click on "post this thread".
ps I see the post was by Smiley Cain, so you'll need his logon information to be able to copy and paste the post from the old to the new thread.

Once you've put the content from the old thread into the new one, you can edit to your heart's content before you hit "post thread". You can also copy and paste content from elsewhere in the thread, or indeed other places - the only time copying and pasting gets more challenging is when there are pictures, or URLs for pictures, involved.
