If your memory is really bad, you may not remember how you found the big forum.
If you remember that you found it, then you may be able to go to your emails and the activation in order to go back to the forum.
When I first began joining forums my memory was so bad that I didn't really remember... the things I had in mind were what I could see. It was very scary.
So, if that's how someone is, or even somewhat like that, then they aren't going to actually be able to go back and see if there are any responses.
If your memory is good, then I'm sure you wouldn't be able to understand how debilitating (socially) it is to not be able to remember.
I'm soooo much better now. But, I still try to remember to sign up for instant notifications... that way I can just click to get back to the topic... I don't have to find it.
See, the other thing with cognitive dysfunction, is that "planning" is really hard when memory is so impaired.
I still can't remember very much at one time... I don't have to keep repeating something in order to be able to do it, but when I have several things to do it's like a wind storm in my mind... it's not clear and it's unsettling.
To me, stress is the worst. It just uses up so much energy... and I think the using up of that energy is what burns up nerves... once the lubricating B12 is gone... that's sort of how I explain it to myself.
The stress is so bad with my condo, given that the courts have denied me due process, that it's sometimes hard for me to justify my continued fight.
I posted a topic in Social with a link to pictures of my condo.
I would love it if people took a look.
Would you?

If a persons memory was impaired you would think that the good old pen and paper would come in real handy, i do it myself still, i couldn't possibly remember every site that is important to me, if i didn't use " my favorites" or just dot it down on a bit of paper.
Anyway most sites that you register, you do get an activation number telling you the name of the site and all, all you have to do is open up your emails, if you forget your password or forum name you only have to enter your email address and they send out another, how easy is that ?
This is way off track to what i meant in my post, i am not picking on anyone with a bad memory that's not my style, i was saying that i have seen some of the good people here put a lot of work in their answers to help someone who has asked for help, then no reply,then say 2 weeks or 2 months down the track another post comes in off the same ignorant person and same thing happens again, no answers, no thankyou, nothing at all, that does get to me because these terrific people here are in pain themselves but give their all to try help others out but just get ignored, thankfully it does not happen often.
