Title: Disappearing Post
Post by: dannyboy on October 17, 2019, 09:19:25 AM
I posted a reply in the 'Baseboard Construction' thread at about 0855 this morning, just after the post from ntp. I have received a 'Like/Thank you' notification from springwood. Yet my post is not showing, not in the thread nor in 'Show own posts' section. It is as though the post never existed  ???. Any one else had 'disappearing' posts?

Hi

I had one earlier in the week. I posted to a thread (unfortunately I can't remember which one) and later returned to it to find other postings but not mine. I re-posted and it appeared this time.

Edit
It was this thread
https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=46840.msg595355#msg595355 (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=46840.msg595355#msg595355)

Cheers

Paul

You didn't press preview instead of post?

I've done that on my phone before, switched off thinking I'd sent it, and lost it

Hi

Its possible but I only tend to use preview when I'm posting a picture.

Cheers

I could have, but I got a notification that springwood 'Liked' the post, so it must have been visible at some time.  ???

@springwood (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=7301) - tell me I am not losing the plot. Did you 'like' the post I put up at about 8.55 this morning about using MDF for baseboards?

Addit: Sorry, just checked back through my Alerts and springwood marked the post as 'Agree', not 'Like'.

Yes, you're losing the plot...

...but that's a whole other issue.

I've had similar happen in the past.

It looks like a moderator with fat fingers hit the delete button.  Very sorry about that.  I've seen it in the Log. One of us will reinstate it.  At work currently....!

Now I feel a bit better knowing it is not just me 'losing' posts  :)

Was it me?

My fingers are quite skinny, actually  ;D
