FYI, if your posts keep getting eaten by the board,
the easiest way to get it to discard your post is to restart your post (at
least, that always works for me). I bugged this a while back, but there
it is. Anybody else see this happen?

PS. When you screw up a post, it is not necessary to re-append and tell
us you screwed up, okay? We know. :b

If you don't post again, the next message POOFs too.
So if hung up, append again with nothing b4 re-writing it all
else you may write something an imm doesn't like and then
have all your posts deleted! -shake-

Posts get deleted if they're illegal -- whether we like your post
or not. Lost appends are a bit of a problem, which hasn't been
fixed due to the pain of the board code.
My suggestion is, if you're writing something and don't want to
lose it, write it on a piece of paper then post the paper. That
will put a copy of what you wrote on the board and leave one
in your inventory. If it gets eaten, you can just re-post it.

But you can't append from a piece of paper can you?
My complaint about having posts deleted isn't about those that
may be be illegal being removed but others as well, as some
form of punishment?? The illegal post came about from having
my append POOF twice due to being hung up first, then from
a bug cos it drops the following append too. I went and rewrote
it a 3rd time in a seperate append to my cursing and it was deleted!
I didn't have a copy of it anymore since Wraith didn't mention
he'd deleted BOTH. I wasted over an hour on that and man I was pissed.

I erased a single append from the discussion board last week. If another
is missing, then it wasn't there to begin with. You should write on
notes and then post them to boards. This works for appends. If you
don't know the syntax, enter post by itself. You should also read your
post once you've finished to make sure it is there (and on the right
board).
If the first post of a thread more graphic/explicit than it should be,
it is quite possible that I would remove the entire thread. I do not
have the option of removing the original thread while leaving the
appends. I also cannot edit posts to remove or alter parts of them.
Even if I could, I would not.

Not that it'd help much, probably still POOFS when hung up.
Anyway I'm quite sure it was there, I don't think I would have
written it 3 times without checking it.. More likely if you
didn't delete it that erase deleted them both since the thread
was messed up somehow by my initial disconnection.

Seems posts POOF when @restart is used too.
