Link to the thread from the DU'ers husband who is an expert in disaster

and communications operations?

I can't get the search function to work and I need to find it.

Thank you in advance!

1. we need to fix DU so that it works in a crisis. eom.

2. Should we call FEMA?

[Warren Stupidity]

3. No obviously we need to do it ourselves :-)

But seriously, something has to be done. It is in the midst of a crisis that the research/response/interactive nature of DU is essential. We are the anti-meme, we are the counter psy-ops force, and we have to function in real time when the world has gone to shit.

5. I would agree.

When there's a LOT going on, I care less about eye candy than I do about information.

6. Google

I've used Google to search DU in the past to some effect. It's a bit of a lottery because Google will not always notice new threads but it's worth a go. If the thread was very active there's a good chance Google knows about it.

What you need to do is add "site:www.democraticunderground.com" to the end of your search query. For example, the following link lists all the pages on DU where your username appears.

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&as_qdr=all&q=Warren+Stupidity+site%3Awww.democraticunderground.com&btnG=Search&meta=

If Pirate Smile knows the name of the thread or who the author was, it may prove lucky.

11. You're welcome! I was glad you asked because I hadn't bookmarked it

for some reason and wanted to have it at hand so finding it was of benefit to me as well.
