disappearing posts?
lately i have had a few posts that have vanished. they were comments to other posts. if administration has a problem with my views please pm me. i am here to further this site and its progress. i am subject to error in my judgment at times. we all are but i feel that over all i mean well more than most. to just delete my post without reason is not right. it is your site and you can do as you wish but i think i have earned at least enough respect to be given heads up if you see a different direction to my posts. if indeed you deleted them. i am not ruling out site error.

also i want to add i have no problems with any of your posts. so i can't see it possibly being personal. all i know is that i have had three posts disappear this week. ?

Maybe you shouldn't have said that you had some extra Viagra tablets for sale

Seriously, though, except for spam the admins never delete messages without a PM explaining why. This is true for everyone but especially for someone such as you who has contributed a great deal to FLM and is valued.
I have also had some messages fail to post in the past few days. I blame it on the fact FLM uses a budget webhost which puts dozens (hundreds?) of sites on the same physical server, and if one of them has a problem or is overloaded it can temporarily affect them all. In every case (I know of) where a message I posted wasn't processed the "view your message" page didn't come up and then reload the thread, instead a blank white page showed up in that tab. So I noticed something was wrong.
When this happened to me, I checked the thread or the new posts link and the message had been lost, so I hit 'back' and posted it again and was finally able to confirm it had been posted. In a couple of cases I had to wait a few minutes and try again several times, or edit the message slightly.
Sorry about this, I didn't say anything because I thought it was a transient problem or just me. If posts get lost after being confirmed as successfully posted please let us know.

Re: disappearing posts?
well if its something i think really needs to be said i will repeat myself. otherwise i will double check from now on that every post takes hold. since i am usually doing several things at once it is possible that i did it. but i think more likely it was just an error. alls good until its not. thanks for your response FLL. (oh and by the way i never have extra viagra it is always just enough)
