Threads do get moved, but I’ve searched far and wide. God forbid, but do the mods ever just (accidentally) delete a whole OP? Do they ever do it non-accidentally, for some undisclosed reason?
Assuming the prob’s at my end, what could it be? When I left, it looked like my OP had been submitted, but the thing that “takes me back to the message board” was timed-out. In the past, that hasn’t prevented something from posting.
If you get a time-out, your post may or may not have made it to the server. I usually go back and check via navigating through the message board. If my post, or new thread isn’t there, then it didn’t make it to the server.
Also, that’s why I use my handy-dandy text editor to create new posts or threads. I can cut and paste them into the SDMB text area. If they get lost, I still have a copy. I can spell check too.
It wasn’t the one about contacting a celebrity, was it? Because that one got moved to Cafe Society, just as this one got moved to ATMB. If it’s not that one, then it probably just didn’t get submitted. We do occasionally remove threads from public view, but I don’t think any of yours have been.
