This may sound like a REALLY silly question and if so I apologise in advance.
Read a tip on here saying if no reply don't start a new thread but "nudge" the old one because it may just have fallen off the front page too quickly.
This morning I posted a request asking about Winnipeg newspaper articles, which, on reflection, was a bit daft as all self respecting Canadians would have been sound asleep at that time and there certainly wouldn't be any archive offices open!!
So I would quite like to "nudge" my post, thing is I have no idea how to do it! Can someone help a really stupid newbie?
Thanks
Joyce

You then need to add a post to your thread. This will bring it back to the top of the board.

I don't know nothing, but the most natural places to check are:
