Any clues anyone?

Monte

It means you are too wise for your own good, and we have requested that you not be allowed to delete your posts, as they serve the common good.

just kidding.

I have no idea. That is odd.

(Your posts ARE good, though!)

I've had that happen...maybe has to do with using a different window. Were you using the little yellow arrow to reply or the little blue arrow?

BB

ps, I agree with Echo's comment about your posts!

Oh dear, mine often totally disappear when I am typing them - maybe it is trying to tell me something!!

I have had that happen too. I always thought it was the moderators who decided not to remove the post even though there was a request to do so. I could be wrong about that of course!

Hi Blackbird! I missed you

eeeek! Are there moderators?

thanks Jo...I am confused, though...was I gone away? How are you?
and Starfish- you ain't gettin' off the hook that easy, girlie! no way is your computer telling you something!

Monte does this mean you are thinking of doing a runner again? I hope not!

I haven’t tried editing anything I’ve written here, but I know on other forums there is a time limit within which you can edit after which the post can’t be edited. But that probably doesn’t apply here as obviously people have managed to delete their posts well after they’ve been submitted. Maybe deleting and editing are two separate functions?

Sorry that’s not much help is it? Hope you manage to work it out.

Jo and Blackbird,
I think I can clear up the confusion.

Hummingbird was posting here when Jo was last on regularly and used the same icon as Blackbird. So, two birds and the same icon are easy to get confused.

Jo, BB started posting after you hadn't been on in awhile, but as you're both lovely people this can be the beginning of new friendship.

Sounds like a plan to me, Ag! You in Jo?

But...ARE there moderators? If so they are awfully quiet. spooooooooky.
