Elizabeth Conley Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If a thread is gone, does that mean it's been deleted? How do you know for sure something's been deleted? I don't want to get anyone's diapers in a wad, I just want to know why on earth some of these threads vanish. It's mystifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessedfamily Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The title usually still shows up, but it's labelled deleted, and you can't open it try as you might! (Ask me how I know.) :glare: If it's closed, you see a lock. You can't post, but you can still read all you want. :D You can even go get popcorn and come back and it'll still be there.

Elizabeth Conley Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 OK. So if I simply can't find a post, it's because I don't know how or where to look. I feel even dumber now, but at least I know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 OK. So if I simply can't find a post, it's because I don't know how or where to look. I feel even dumber now, but at least I know. Thanks No need to feel dumb. I don't mean any disrespect to our great hostess and the mods here, but the search feature isn't always the greatest. It can be very difficult to search out particular topics at times. Atleast I find it very frustrating. I've "lost" many great threads that I figured I'd be able to go back to at a later time using the search feature. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Conley Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 It's frustrating all right. It's like missing the punchline to a good joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Or...it has been deleted. LOL If you posted in the thread, go back and search your posts. If the post is gone, then the thread has been *poofed*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the post is gone, then the thread has been *poofed*. That seems to be what happened. It's annoying, because I can't for the life of me imagine why. Oh Well. I'll get over it.

If the post is gone, then the thread has been *poofed*. You mean sometimes they disappear without a trace? Not even a title? I usually still see titles, but there's no telling how many have been poofed and I didn't notice it because I never get involved in heated threads. Never.

Liz CA Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 It's frustrating all right. It's like missing the punchline to a good joke. If you remember the author of the thread or even anyone who posted in the thread, you can look it up by their name. If your yourself posted, you can click on your name in the upper right hand corner and look up your own post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessedfamily Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I flipped back a few pages and saw the remnants of one deleted thread from yesterday at about page six. No title- just "thread deleted by moderator". Maybe that's the one you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
