Lost discussion threads

[SteveDB1]

Hi all.
I don't know what happened, but I'd posted two threads today, and have lost
them.
I clicked the "notify me of replies" check box, and received the
notification of those replies.
However, when I clicked on the links in each of the emails, it takes me to a
generic listing of all of the posts for today.
In fact, I see 559 pages of posts-- and the first three pages cover one day,
with not one single mention of my original posts.
I checked on the help icon to see if there is a means by which I could
locate specific posts-- which I found. I used the references they gave, and
still no posts.
Both by user name, and post subject line. I then checked unanswered
questions in the "show" drop down. Nada.
I of course tried the subject name, and got the error that says nothing was
found, and to try fewer words, etc.... I tried 4 or 5 variations.... Nada.
Does this kind of thing happen often?
Does anyone know if there's a place where lost posts are sent?
Yes, I am reaching here.
Thanks in advance, as always.
The names of my posts were:
Making UI Ribbon, and xlsb files
Thanks Jim

I avoid web based news viewer and use Outlook Express (or another dedicated
news reader like Agent etc).
Then connect directly to the MS news server at msnews.microsoft.com.
