Question: My Post on the Forum Disappeared
I posted on the forum, but my post has disappeared. Did you delete it?
Answer: This is probably the most common question I receive about the forum. There are three people who can delete a forum post: myself, the person who made the post and the person you addressed the post to. I never delete posts unless they are spam or you are flaming another member. The more likely solution is that your post has not been deleted at all. If you go back and read your own post, the post then "disappears" for you until somebody posts a reply to it. There's a pull down menu in the upper left corner of the forum. Select "Show discussions...All". You should see your post.
