Hello Everyone,

Below is a copy of a PM I sent to the Forum "Administrator"
(not to be confused with our fine "Moderator" Dafydd)
Perhaps this was a misguided move, but if you agree or disagree, please add your voice in reply.

Dear Administrator,

I don't expect a reply here. But I just wanted to express that it is very disheartening to take the time to post something, have it appear on the forum, and then 2 hours later, the post has disappeared and is not even in "Recent Topics".
Then the next day, it now can be found in RT, but it still does not appear on the forum pages, even if one looks 5 pages deep. And I'm pretty sure that the majority of members and visitors to the forum don't immediately go to "Recent Topics" to see if there is a new post. We assume that all recent posts and new topics will appear on the first few pages of the forum as we browse them.
But this is so often not the case. And it really does dampen one's enthusiasm for taking the time to participate in the forum, when so often ones effort is in vain, as a post simply disappears 2 hours after posting.
And that is why we see multiple postings, because the poster, who was seeking help, assumes there was a glitch, and re-posts his/her question again.

There have been times where I have read a new post, then left to open PowerDirector to do a little research, then composed a reply in MS Word, then opened up the forum again a mere 30 minutes later, and the post that I had intended to reply to is gone, and is nowhere to be found, only to show up (unanswered) a day or two later.

I am not complaining here just because one of my posts has gone missing. It wasn't that important, and it happens to everyone.
The point here is...
It happens too often, and has been happening for too long, and has been mentioned too many times.

Can this not be rectified?

Thank you for your time,
