SamTherapy, Posts do occasionally vanish in server hiccups, but usually the problem is that they don't stick in the first place... if you waited more than 15 minutes before hitting the send button (got a cup of coffee, pet the cat, whatever) it could have been eaten, no matter what its length. More than 30 minutes ought to open the main forum.ez page, which is a clue to go back and repost. If you closed that window or otherwise went on before it was fully posted, it could get lost. A couple nights ago we had server hiccups where some of us couldn't get onto the site. It happens. We've looked and none of us deleted your post and it isn't where removed posts go. Since you say that it was posted and viewed, I'm particularly flummoxed, although that has happened to me as well... where I see posts after mine, but mine has vanished later. I can't give you a better answer, except to say that we didn't take it down. Carolly
