test- my first ever post disappeared!!!!
 

This is just a test. i tried a post a few minutes ago and it disappeared after I worked on it for 20 minutes or more trying to ask my question just right. GRRRRRRRR

you could have, at the very least, used the General forum for this, as this has nothing to do with linux and/or networking... having said that, are you referring to this:

My apologies, Mr. Senior Member of forum, you are correct.
Actually, I was too upset to think about which forum I was in, I just knew it seemed to have failed. The link to message thread you posted was done after my whining message, so I did get the hang of it after all. Maybe I let my session time out while composing the message that got lost????

No problem now....

Actually test posts are not encouraged because they just pollute the forums with junk.

I agree - if you have a problem with the forums, we have the Website Suggestions and Feedback forum or you could simply email one of the moderation team. If you ever need to check on the status of a post or thread, go to your User CP page and follow the links.
