Disappearing Forum Post

by bocmaxima Online Now May 19, 2012 at 9:18 AM

I saw a question this morning that was very similar to something I had responded to a couple of months ago. I went searching, and could not, for the life me, find it. Even Google didn't help much. I would see pieces in the Google preview of hotel reviews sections for New York State, but would not see the post when I clicked on the link. Then, I finally found it here by typing a few of the words I used in a literal string: boardreader.com/thread/Publi... But none of the links work? What's going on with this thread?

    The member who posted the question was deleted some time ago, I'm afraid. When that happens all threads, forum replies, pages, tips and comments posted by the member are also automatically deleted.

    Yes. I do know why he was (rightly) deleted. It was not entirely unexpected.

    What I have done this past week is started to save my more extensive answers to questions as tips. This is the option as most of us know when we finish answering our tips. Hopefully this way when a similar question is asked in the future I can more easily reference my own pages. I used that on the Chicago Union Station question this morning. I will title the tip - Answer to Forum Question - May, 2012 I will see if that assists me.
