Attn. CLARE. Its still happening
Hi Clare, hope you get to see this before it disappears. Do you remember last Friday when you responded to a thread in this section which I started. It was about posts of mine disappearing. Was trying to bump a post of mine in the accessories section. (ref. message for fatboyslimfast). Well not only has the bump post vanished again for the sixth time, but the thread I started in this section about it has disappeared entitrely as well. Have only just responded to a post in the Freesat section from Daveyjay, am betting that will vanish as well later today. Any ideas what is happening?
Also, just noticed that the 'vanished posts' not listed in my 'Recent Posts list'.
Sounds like the database doesn't like you.

Yeah, definately something odd going on. Been happening for about a week now. But a couple of posts have stayed on. The mystical world of IT. Am hoping someone at WHF sees this thread before it too vanishes.

Yes: you bumped a post asking a question of a poster, and I emailed you asking whether you'd like me to ask that poster if you could mail him directly.
Got no response, so the bump was deleted as I assumed you were no longer interested.
You bumped it again, I mailed you again, and the process was repeated. Over and over again.
It's not a conspiracy, not mystical, just a breakdown of communication.
Oh, and 'bumping' is very very tiresome...
Ah. light at end of my tunnel. Must remember to check my email more often. Thanks Andrew, will check it now.

Andrew, just checked my email and nothing in my inbox from WHF or yourself.
Very odd: sent two or three mails, if memory serves, to the address you used when registering.
Oh well, at least we've solved the major mystery now. So, moving on...

And that's the BlueYonder email address you registered with?
Indeed it is Clare. Just checked my account to check its correct. You've actually spelt it BlueYonder. Its actually blueyonder, don't know if the capitals make a difference. I always get the WHF competition emails come through to me ok.
Rich.
No, the capitals don't make any difference. Anyway, as I said, problem solved, at least as far as the forum posts are concerned. Can we move on now...?
Fine by me Andrew. can you put me in direct contact with 'fatboyslimfast' if possible?
OK will do, if the member is amenable. Will mail him/her and ask.
Andrew Everard:Will mail him/her and ask.
Let us know how you get on with that! 
This is more exciting than anything on TV!

Tomorrow at this time, we'll be answering the question "If I was thinking about asking something on the Forums, do you think I should?"...
