Messages not posted

[DogParkGuy]

In the last six months, I have had two responses to posted messages never show up. About two weeks ago I posted a response to someone who had commented about my "going green" question. Since I didn't hear from the moderator, I am not sure whether I had a technical problem or whether someone decided my post was inappropriate.

Re: Messages not posted

Sounds like a technical problem to me as I never removed any of your posts. I'll send the link to this thread to Tim but there's a record of any actions taken by Admin or Moderators so if any post was removed then their's a record of this.

As long as you're not breaking any forum rules and your messages are family friendly there shouldn't be any problem on our side.

Is it possible you clicked the wrong button or fumbled at the keyboard and clicked away before you message could be posted?

I've done this many times in the past and anytime I have a lot of time invested into a message I copy and paste my text into Notepad before submitting it in case something goes wrong I won't have to re-think the words and then re-type them.

Art,

There has been nothing deleted. We do not remove posts unless they violate the Forum Rules. If and when that is the case, an email is send automatically as well we send an email out to let the individual know what has happened. As Mike mentioned, there is an automatic record of any post deletions.

Thanks
