maturefan Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I posted a new thread this morning in banter and it's gone. It was called 'post your favourite comedy clips.' If there is already a thread with the same name I can understand it being closed but how can I know what happened if no-one tells me and it just disappears?

the aurora Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I put an expiring redirect on your thread to let you know it's been moved. You were on at the time when I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see it. If you PMed me the message would stay in my inbox until I read it but if you post a message ion a thread, assume I've seen it and then move the thread, you can't be sure I've seen it. It would save you and me a lot of hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks! Can someone please tell me if that happens next time? A good tip in these situations is to go on your profile and click "more posts by this user" or whatever it says. There you can see if your posts have been removed or just moved, then you can click on them to see where they went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would save you and me a lot of hassle. I don't always have the time to do that to every thread starter so that's why I leave a redirect. Next time, pm a mod or go through existing threads to see if your topic belongs in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW my thread was about 'comedy clips.' The first couple I posted were on youtube but what If I had wanted to post a comedy clip ,say, from the BBC website, a radio programme? Should I start a new thread for 'cpmedy clips from places other than youtube?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I start a new thread for 'cpmedy clips from places other than youtube?' Well, I'm on my break at work so yes, I have more time to respond. YouTube is a general video thread. It wouldn't make sense to have threads like "YouTube Thread," "Videos from Other Websites," "Photobucket Videos," etc. Again, if you are not sure about a topic, ask one of us and we'll be glad to point you in the right direction.

Not everyone NEEDS to ask why their thread was moved, because it's shown quite obviously on the board. Why should she assume that you're going to ask when the answer is right in front of you?

Niall Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Indeed, apologies that you couldn't find your thread but as threads are merged quite commonly it isn't usual practice to actively inform users - we tend to treat content on the board as a non-personal contribution to a common forum and organise it to keep similar content together when it seems fit, unless it's obvious a thread is about a specific personal issue. Others above have given good advice above on how to track your posts if you do want to find them again and can't too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
