Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses doubt about having posted a reply, questioning their own memory and suggesting they might be sleepy.
  • Another participant reassures them that they are okay, while others humorously suggest they might still be dreaming.
  • Some participants speculate that replies might be disappearing due to hitting a posting quota or technical issues with the forum.
  • A participant shares their experience of switching browsers to resolve posting issues, indicating that technical problems may contribute to the confusion.
  • There are humorous references to conspiracies involving forum mentors and playful banter about the situation.
  • One participant suggests checking the user control panel for recent posts as a potential solution.
  • Another participant humorously mentions the possibility of having forgotten to submit their reply after closing the window.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the cause of the confusion, with multiple competing views regarding technical issues, personal memory, and humorous conspiracies. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the original participant's posting experience.

Contextual Notes

Maybe your replies are going to the same place that yomamma's have gone. That's what happens when you waste exclamation points; you hit your quota and can't post anymore. :biggrin:

I was thinking about the same thing. But it wasn't that bad to be deleted! :confused: :biggrin:
 
I found these, anyone lost them ?

I don't know what you posted or where to know if it was deleted, but it seems at least some of yomamma's posts have just disappeared (at least according to him). I think only one post was actually deleted and accounted for.

Quite some time ago, I was having some random problems with the site, and the advice was to stop using Internet Explorer, so I switched to Safari (it came bundled with my computer, but I was unfamiliar with it at the time, so never really paid much attention to it), and I haven't had any trouble since.

Waiting for the attachment to be approved...but from the file name, I'm guessing you found some lost screws. I will assure you that I have not lost any screws. I might have a few loose ones, but they're all still accounted for. :approve:

Now I'm sure that I didn't post anything because I asked one of the mentor about that! :blushing: And it means I'm getting crazy. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :shy:

Why start a thread on this, when it is plain obvious you haven't done it and obviously hallucinated?
 
  • #16
Perhaps you hit "Preview Message" instead of "Submit" and left the thread thinking you'd posted.

No, I closed the window which my reply was there. Because I opened some other windows and it had made a mess. :shy:

I do that all the time, dear.
I don't know if you find that comforting or troubling, but at least, it doesn't have anything to do with the Nazi's..:wink:

:smile: Perhaps it had in my case! Who knows perhaps I was thinking about Nazism and then I forgot to post my reply before closing the window. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I think we have enough evidence against her, but we can't do anything since she's a super mentor! :rolleyes:
 
  • #22
and every time you complain about super-mentors in the feedback forum, you get badgered by all the mentors until greg bans you.

actually, looking back on some old threads, this seems very true. this does seem kind of unfair though...

You're just lucky my pet badger is at the vet today... :devil:

I'm just saying the truth :rolleyes:
