Hi
Recently I posted a reply to an old thread in the code repository:Check if function or sub exists
It still hadn't appeared the following day so I contacted a moderator (Uncle Gizmo)
I was asked to repost it as the post got 'lost' in a neglected corner of cyberspace due to an apparent glitch in the forum software.
Many thanks for helping Tony
Today I've noticed a 'new' post in that thread by AndrewS dating from August. It was definitely not there when I added my post.
I also spotted another 'new' post by Static in my Emulated Split Form thread in sample databases. Again I'm sure its only just appeared.
In neither case did the forum alert me with a 'subscribed threads' email.
So I'm wondering whether:
a) a moderator is currently searching the site for 'other' lost posts. If so, thank you
b) the glitch has been fixed and a number of lost posts have surfaced as a result. If so there may be others I've missed
c) the glitch is still there
If c) is still true, I suggest all who post or reply to moderated areas should check to see whether their post appear within a reasonable amount of time (e.g. 24 hours) and if not, contact the site moderators to alert them.
