Default Finding old pictures from about 14 years ago.

I had been a member years ago, but lost touch after my old computer crashed. Before it did though, I had posted a whole lot of pictures of my 3 speed overdrive transmission overhaul,
among other things.
I lost them with the computer, but now I'm wondering if maybe they are still on this site.
How do I go about finding them? I have no idea what I named the file anymore, I just have my old username, "cadptsman" , and I'm not even sure if that's right. It has been 14 years or more.

Anyone have an idea on how I could do this?
I can tell you that it's about a full synchronized 3 speed manual overdrive transmission hybrid. I called it a hybrid because I used parts from both an early and a late style overdrive unit to come out with a longer total length transmission. I've actually built two of them.
I also do remember that I had made a reverse lockout lever or related part from a standard 3 speed part for it, because no one had one for sale at the time.

But I would really like to have the pictures again if it's possible.
My thanks for your help.

Well, after some long searching through the gallery here, I finally found my pictures. I even managed to download them to my phone. However, I couldn't get my narrative under them. How can you get the narrative/comments off the pictures?

For proof I did build them, here's a couple of pictures of one of them still in my storage bus.

Well that didn't work! How do you, or can you attach a picture to your post?

Also photo’s are not archived that I’m aware of so unless somebody saved them, I’m afraid they are in the fog.

I wondered about that. But I know I posted those pictures over 10 years ago, maybe even longer, at least that's what I thought, but they're still on here. I also posted pics of an automatic transmission adapter set up I had for sale and it's here too.
I can see the date I posted that reply about the other guys transmission in '09. However did you find that anyway?
I tried looking for anything I had done before and came up with nothing.

Anyway, now that I've got the pictures back, I'd like to get my descriptions as well. They didn't transfer with the pictures, and I'd rather not have to write them all down. Do you know how to do that? My memory ain't what it used to be and it would help to have my "notes" if I have a problem in the future.

And the last thing, I'm curious as to why Jeannie's name is on the album? That's another reason why it took me a while to find them, as I was looking under my name. I had to go through the gallery pic by pic. I know my name was on them when I posted them. Not that it matters, I've got 'em now.

Oh yeah, one more thing, what does!Bork! mean? I've seen that both on some of my notes and in that old post you found.

Thanks for your help on this. I do appreciate it. Rick

Can someone tell me why the photo album of my overdrive transmission has somebody else's name on it?
I've tried to post this question a few times already but it doesn't show up on here.

Lightbulb Re: Finding old pictures from about 14 years ago.

The photo album of my overdrive transmission shows that it posted by someone named Jeannie, why?
