What happened to my thread?

[Malleus]

I just got back from a 2 day business trip. I am checking to see if there are any updates on the first thread I started a few days ago, asking advice about what to do with my filipina girlfriend. It was entitled "What should I do?"

But the thread has disappeared. Am I missing something? Can someone fill me in on what happened to it?:Erm:

All that accumulated wisdom and insight.......lost......vanished into the ether.....:reaction:

Oh well. Maybe its an omen or something;)

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to reply. It was very much appreciated.

I think that warrants a yellow card :D

:sorry-2: about what happened to your threads, mate ... truly I am! Keith said, "Ask Arthur" [he wasn't meaning Arthur Ask(ey)' :NoNo:] ... and rightly so, because I'M the person to blame - no-one else! Allow me to explain:

You'll recall having raised two threads, viz- (i) 'Need Some Advice' & (ii) 'What Should I Do?'. In EACH case the content of your introductory posts replicated the other ... the sole difference being that the latter attracted 36 responses - including several of mine - whereas the former received only one reply from a guy called *Ayumbar who, like many on the other thread, empathised with your dilema.

Ayumbar's post came to my attention late last night ... and, as a Moderator, I took the decision to merge the two threads. Unfortunately, in the process, I [somehow] pressed the wrong button as Keith explained. My only plea in mitigation, is that I'm a relative novice in this appointment (mid-July) and consequently still finding my way around in strange [to me] territory.

Once again, please accept my sincerest apologies. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Doc Alan]

I will vouch for the fact that Arthur's apology is sincere :)

[Malleus]

No worries Arthur. I understand.

I accidentally created the two threads because, being a newbie, I thought my first attempt was unsuccessful when I didnt see it show up immediately, so I created and submitted a second identical one.

In fact the first one had just been submitted for review by the mods, before being approved and published. Then when I realised what happened I couldnt delete it afterwards lol. Thats what created the confusion. So I am at least partly to blame.

Think no more of it good sir :)

Yeah I was trying to find that thread, having done a response. I thought "huh???? where did that thread go?" :D
