That's happened in some other threads as well in the past week or two.

Hey Mike

I just had a look to see who may have deleted your post and and according to the records there is no one there that has deleted anything of yours.

I will say this, we are having some trouble with posts mysteriously going missing and being chewed up by the data base. Sometimes they appear a few hours later sometimes they don't. They seem to be getting caught in no mans land for a while so to speak. I wrote up a huge post the other day only to have it disappear. I had to rewrite the entire thing I wasn't to happy about it.

I can only suggest to others that they make a backup copy of your post in Office word or something before submitting it to the board, that way in case something does drastically happen you will have some kind of backup.

I am sincerely sorry, however it was I….

A Team Member of ours strongly requested that I have the ‘Avatar’ thread moved to ‘Off The Topic’, due to concerns regarding credibility that may effect certain investigations that are currently being conducted.

I believed I could do this. I was wrong.

Along with my ego, 150 posts and over a thousand page views flew out the window with the press of a button.

While in a daze, I had a glimpse of a shimmering light. It was Cass galloping towards me on a white horse. Within her saddlebag was lost data that she somehow retrieved from an American server during the night.

Certainly not the first time she has saved me and I thank her for that.

Unfortunately, we lost a few late posts. If your posts vanished, please re-add them, as everyone’s contributions are important.

I apologise for the inconvenience.

Dean Dean Dean.. thats why we have website administration people for you to do that stuff! Glad Cass was around, I was out doing some field research: how many beers does it take to affect deadpool's judgement before he can walk home without falling over. The results were conclusive, its about 11 before things become a little bit out of hand. :lol:

If you need anything done, just PM me if Cass isn't around, i'll help out whenever you need me to.
..people don't tend to notice him standing there in the last frames..

Thanks Alex.

People who have previously posted pictures may wish to check on them, as they may have been effected by the back-up.

Gotcha.

Thanks for clearing that up.

A couple of my posts have gone walk-about. Thought it was a problem on my end.
