If the thread has disappeared, how is it you are able to post a link to it? I do not understand your question, nor do I understand why it is posted under this topic, which is:
System Announcements and Technical Advice: Look here for announcements from the Webmaster on the use of this Board. In this sub-topic you will also find discussions and advice on how to use the discussion board and other areas of the Stamporama website.
Please clarify for me.

Bobby, look at the link and you will see 3 postings done today so it should be showing in the 'postings in last day' & 'postings in last week' section, which it does not.
I just happen to be on the phone at the time with John9913 who was the 1st poster today and he mentioned that he had posted it. I saw it and then it 'disappeared' when I checked back later.
You can also do a search of discussions using John9913 as username and it will bring it up.
I SWEAR, I HAD NOT TOUCHED ANYTHING STRONGER THAN A DIET PEPSI IN WEEKS!!!!! Maybe Liz's post had something to do with it, under a moderator code????????

OK, here is what happened. When someone edits a post, even if no changes are made (they begin an edit then change their mind), the computer will believe the date of the last entry of the thread is the original date of the post which was edited. Someone must have edited a post whose original date was prior to a week ago, causing the computer to (falsely) believe there were no recent posts. I entered a "test" response, then deleted the "test" post to convince the computer that something was posted today. Should be OK now.

Ok, thanks Bobby, it was just very confusing. Nice to know I am not completely crazy. I will admit to some, hehe.
