Missing posts

Maybe already addressed, but I don't come to this forum often.


Question - Sometimes, I go back to check on a past post after several hrs. have passed or shorty there after. I can see that my post was posted and continue on to the next forum question. I come back much later and find it gone, my reply post. There is no rhyme or reason given, its just gone. Sometimes, I find my post later on duplicate post across several forums, but I can't check all that. That is an originator multiple post question not my post, I just looked in the wrong forum. Regardless, I find this happening now and then have my post gone. It is the time of the day, server glitch or s/w? Am I seeing things when I see my post, posted and Thank You for your post message reply -OR- have I done something wrong on my end?

TIA -----Willy Happy

I had one of these today too.

I was having them a few months ago but they went away after awhile. I would type them on one forum, they would show up on some other forum. After you submit them they just disappear to be found hours or days later somewhere else. At that time they were ending up on speakeasy from any number of tech. posts. That must of happened with 10 posts. Looks like this gremlin is back. I have no idea were it went today. I guess that would have been yesterday at this hour.

I think taboma might be having the same problem, see post 20 on this forum:
