1. Disappearing threads. There have been at least two threads to which I've contributed today. They have both disappeared since, and there may be more - I don't know (just like everyone else here, I rarely pay attention to what I say). Because I didn't get one of those anonymous emails from a Mod, I assume I wasn't the cause of the deletion, but would it be a good idea to notify innocent contributors that a thread's been deleted and why? No names, no pack drill, obvs.

2. In trying to find said threads, I looked at My Replies. They're in chronological order, but it seems the date stamp goes on your first reply to a thread, not your latest. Would it be good to change this too?

Hi Doofus,

1. Unfortunately, we aren't able to notify anyone but the original poster, as it could have been deleted for a number of reasons (personal reasons included). I understand it's frustrating if you've invested your time into it and it disappears, but it's out of our hands - sorry.

2. Very good point! I hadn't noticed but you're absolutely right, I'll see if we can get that changed.

Thanks smile
