Question

If I have a thread # how can I find the.thread?

Community Answer

Do a google search following this template: "4chan /board name/ archive -boards.4chan.org" using the name of the board your thread is from between the slashes (example: 4chan /v/ archive -boards.4chan.org). Click on any of the top results, you should have some kind of search field you can enter the number into on that site. 4chan itself does not have any functionality for searching by post number because content is cycled too fast for that to be in any way useful to users. If you don't know what board the post is from then there's nothing you can do, since post numbers are just a sequential number to track posts on a particular board and are not unique across the whole site.
