If you click on your username, public profile, and then statistics, you can click to show all posts or all threads started by you. For a recent thread/post or for someone without many threads/posts, this is the quick and easy way to find something you've written. In fact, you can also skip the profile step and from clicking on your username go directly to a listing of your recent posts.
It looks like the post was moved to a consolidated thread on Hawaii service in the AA forum.

MSPeconomist and Mwenenzi have both given you useful advice. I'll add some more information that I hope proves useful as well. (You can always contact the forum's Moderators by using the "report this post" function by each post - looks like a ble circle containing a red circle with a white exclamation point; if the forum has no appointed Moderators, the report will be sent to the four Senior Moderators.)
If your question was about AA Hawai'i services, it has been merged into the existing thread (follow the links given below to your original posts):
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...l#post27202384. A trailing link was left.
If your question was about pre-departure beverages, it can be found toward the end of the thread:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...l#post27207053
Preventing information fragmentation is important, because if a member searches and surfaces a dozen or more threads - easy in a very busy* forum like the AA forum - that member would have to pore through a number of threads to see if the topic of interest is covered in any of them. Additionally, a master thread often has a summary in the Wikipost at the top of the page summarizing important information, connecting links to resources and often enough relevant information not published by the airline or other travel service provider.
*328 are reading the AA forum as I post this.
We recommend searching for existing information before starting new threads for these reasons. We also recommend creating specific and descriptive titles, so members can help. "Hinolulu service" and "Pre departure" are not very useful titles to get members' attention.
One helpful thread is my colleague Canarsie's http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/infor...ve-thread.html.
These are FlyerTalk Rules that cover many of these issues http://www.flyertalk.com/help/rules.php to help guide the way.
We try to keep FlyerTalk as informative and useful to members' travel as possible, and that's at least partially how we do it.
A very belated welcome to FlyerTalk
, and hopes you will continue finding FT to help in "upgrading" your travel and knowledge. Don't forget to share your knowledge and experiences back when you have opportunities to do so.JDiver, Moderator
