Disappearing Messages/Posts, 2018. (EDIT.)

Disambiguating Cynosure
over 6 years ago

Note by WebPM: I have split this off from the photography thread partly to make this discussion more accessible to others who have questions, and partly to keep the other thread on topic.)

...Finally, this is to WebPM. I may Post again, though. But after 3, 4 attempts to find WebPMs Post, I could not, and then I recall a thing said by MrRobert123, in that Replies Change depending upon how a Thread is entered, and so I clicked upon the Thread TITLE, instead of any reply (from the HOME Screen... and now I finally see your Reply, Mr.WebPM.

(I wanted to keep this Thread about Pictures, but then that happens, and so I Post it here, as it happened, rather than my previous Thread. Excuse Me.)

EDIT - From DC: This Post now does not entirely make sense, when used  as a Starting Post or as an Introduction. To anyone reading, Please ignore the sentence here which says that this Thread is "about pictures", for THIS Thread is not about pictures at all..!! Most of all, Please see the first *Real* Post from myself, below. I myself can only wait to see what other people (including NAS) do regarding this Thread...

    I am sorry that this has not yet been resolved, but we are having to prioritise other issues (raised in other threads). We'll get this one addressed as soon as we can.

    To summarise, I think we are agreed that messages don't get lost from the system entirely. However, certain links to a thread may cause messages to be displayed and sequenced in a way that (apparently unintentionally) omits certain messages altogether (irrespective of how many Previous or Next links you click). If you go back to the main link for that thread (the one on the thread title in a list of messages), you see everything, but that view may not be as useful if you wanted to start with the most recent messages.

    Regards

    Hmmmm. Okay. I got that. This 'Grumpy' Post is to let you know that some of us knew what you last write already.

    The disappearing messages causes a lot of confusion and misunderstanding, that is all. Put together with CopyBots and ChatBots, and they start a Thread, and even they have messages disappearing...! This trouble is Good at bad guys, but bad at good guys...

    (P.S.- I guess I cannot edit my/your opening post anymore either, now - Ho ho!)

    Good Luck to You as always, Mr. WebsterPM!    :-)
