Some of my post got deleted

[Loki]

Dear Mods
I wrote informative post for those considering the trip to CtD3. To my surprise half of my post got somehow deleted.
I only found out after I got back from work last night.
Another surprising thing is that in the footnote it said: last modified by me at 16 46, which is odd because at that time I was on my way to work and no one else was at home, so there's no chance anybody on my end was using my laptop.
The thread is this:
http://www.paintballer.ie/woodsball/...-revealed.html
and it was my first post on second page
Could you shed a bit of light on this??
Cause I am confused as to how it is possible.
Thank you

If i mod edits your post their name will appear at the bottem of the post, along with a reason for the edit. It could be as simple as a little glitch in that system that had half your post removed, try re-writting it perhaps ? If it disappears again, then take up arms.

Hi Loki,

From what I can see no-one modified the post. If we open a post for for editing it gets our name tagged to it - even if we don't change anything.

Mods can't access your account. Richie would not be able to edit as you as he would first have to change your password - then replace his temp password with your real one - not easy or likely. Unless he is naughty and keeps them in plaintext - but why bother.

Sorry I can't provide a proper answer. All I can say is that for long posts in any forum or content management system I tend to type in Google docs or text pad and copy the text out.

Thanks Rob
And really sorry for posting this on forum, I never had problems with my post before and just did not know the procedure.
This topic run its course. Please delete it.

Hi Loki,

No, this is the correct place.

As rob said, I can't see and records to show that any one edited your post except you. What can happen some times 'submit reply' that you may have a temporary network time out which results in a lost of the data been sent. It rarely happens, but it happened a few times to me on a bad mobile internet connection.

Another thing that may have happened is that you hit 'preview' instead of 'submit reply' by accident and not saving any thing.

I have sent you a PM to show the number of edits that were performed on that thread.

Thread Locked for future reference.
