My personal apologies firstly as I thought I had posted something on this previously but I can't locate it now.

Some of our registered members may have noticed that some time after having posted a new thread (Review, Blog, Production, etc) it appears to vanish from the forums. More astute members have noticed that they do not so much disappear as have their last post date set to something very odd.

This is a known problem and is being looked at.

If you feel a posting of yours has "disappeared" in this way, then I would suggest the following solution;

 Select My Account from the left hand menu, then select Track from the profile tabs, and finally click Last Post to change the sorting order. You will find your 'reset' threads here. You can reset the Last Post date by simply posting a comment to the thread.

The problem only occurs where a new thread has had all it's comments removed. As our site is hit by a high number of SPAM attempts, this happens occasionally as the SPAM comment gets removed automatically.

I have tried to recover as many as I can but a few will slip through.
