Vanishing posts

[CaptainPatch]

This seems to be happening to me a lot lately: I start a thread (for whatever reason), or add a post to an existing thread. Immediately thereafter, I can see the post/thread on the appropriate forum. But when I come back the next day and check "My Content" under my avatar's menu, the post/thread is gone and I can't find it where it had been the day before.

 

Have those missing posts simply vanished into the Twilight Zone ether? Did a mod move them to some undisclosed location that "My Content" can't find? Or simply deleted the post/threads because it was posted in the wrong location or because it needlessly duplicates an existing post/thread, and didn't bother to notify as to why the post was being deleted?

 

In the absence of any communication as to what is going on, I really have no idea _why_ I seem to keep on losing posts.

Actually it's not like that. Your posts don't vanish. The trouble lies with the page you're visiting to search for them:

Odd. With your post, suddenly ALL of my missing posts and threads have reappeared in My Content. The change is almost like the Fairy Godmother waving her wand and making the problem go away. Or maybe like the squeaky wheel getting greased? Whatever the reason, I appreciate not having to play hide-and-go-seek to see if there were any responses to queries I posted.

Perhaps you need to click the "Follow this topic" button.

Perhaps you need to click the "Follow this topic" button.

Wouldn't that sort of defeat the purpose of My Content? It's useful to be able to just one-click to see what's happening on ALL of the threads you've been active. Not so useful to have umpteen email notifications cluttering up my emailbox.

Rather like they were already on it by the time of your post, and it was fixed already somewhat after mine.

 

You know, they're constantly fixing these reported bugs, especially when they're on the bug tracker.

Even if they sometimes won't come in with a reply until 'after' it's fixed.

 

All those "no reply from an admin, guess they don't care" accusations other places as of late really make me sick, because I know from many years of experiencing otherwise they're just disrespectful lies.
