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?

[Malleus]

Ok Arthur. Fess up. What did you do with my thread lol. Its gotta be around here somewhere.

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

Oh well. Maybe its an omen or something

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

I DID ... honestly!

I think that warrants a yellow card

about what happened to your threads, mate ... truly I am! Keith said, "Ask Arthur" [he wasn't meaning Arthur Ask(ey)' ] ... 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.

[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

[Ayumbar]

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