Why does?

Why does this forum keep deleting my post!?

[J-P]

they are having server problems. Dadof4 did a backup last night and several posts got deleted.

It seems to be happening a lot lately.

[J-P]

that is because it is unfortunately. They're working on it but it is one of those things that we just have to put up with for now until they find out what is happing with their host.

yeah its not just you. there are several posts from me, probably JP as well, and countless other people deleted because when there are issues they have to go back to a certain save point for the website and unfortunately its before some posts were saved so therefore they are lost. dont worry its not something against you

I learned my lesson on one of the earlier crashes when I lost a long and detailed post which would have been the basis for an article with a little more work. Now I back up a lot of posts onto Word documents. If I don't need it later,deleting the Word dos is simple.

When the forums start crashing, you have to back up to a time before the ship hit the sand, so posts between that and the earlier back-up vanish. Unfortunately until they can select and do a major upgrade, it will be a risk. But that is better to me than being off-line for an extended period.
