PM one of the adms....btw did you try to edit it and delete by error without even noticing it .

[Ug]

Well it's there now.

Excellent stuff. My administrator priveldges let me see it anyway.

I'll just try and resolve it for you now.

I've undeleted it.

When greatscot decided to part ways with the forum. He also attempted to delete everything he'd ever posted. (Not particularly considerate). Because he started the thread, when he deleted his post it took the entire thread with it. Which is why you couldn't see your post.

Hope that helps!

Out of interest, does that effect the other posters post count? i.e. if I had posted 2 comments in that thread, he then attempted to delete it, would my post count be reduced by 2?

Or as these posts seem to still be on the system (for admins), does the post count remain the same?

Also another question that has nothing to do with Fedora I have made posts that I later decided were not relevent to the question that had been asked, so I have deleted them - perhaps 5 at the most, they had not been responded to, I wouldn't do that.
Its just were I have answered a question, and then re-read the question and realised my answer was off target, so I removed it to stop confusion - are all of those posts still there for the admins?

Nothing to do with the Fedora, more to do with vBulletin really.

It would appear that the post when a user "deletes" it, causes the post count to decrease. So yes you would lose those 2 counts.

Yes all of those posts are still there for the admins. When you delete something it just removes the visibility of the post for all normal users. I can then "manage" the thread and either:

1. Leave the thread "soft deleted"
2. Permanently delete the thread. Which removes the thread from the database.
3. Restore the thread. So users can access it again.

I hope that answers your queries.
