perhaps they are in review.... i did read that anything that was posted from HI would have to be reviewed by the senior random house editor before it could be posted...that may be the problem

It has happened to me too in the past. Some threads I post on I expect them to disappear, usually in response to KW or VB, but there has been some very "clean" threads that just vanished.

I've not had any threads disappear, but I have had perfectly fine posts disappear.

I've had a few threads disappear. I just assumed it was the normal anti-panda sentiment.

I can make posts disappear.

Just by passing comment about Mr. ChiNaH. Vro-o-oph! Gone in an instant. I can't think why.

If someone called me curmudgeonly I'd congratulate them - for their accuracy AND ability to use words of more than two syllables - not have their posts deleted.

Hi HT--I can check on this with our developer tomorrow; it's definitely not due to moderation on our end...most likely work was being done on the database and something didn't click (I know, I know...not a very technical way of describing or guessing about the problem).

Any chance that you remember which topics you might have posted on? Or maybe around what time you made the posts? Generally it's helpful to isolate the window of time it happened. Have other posts successfully gone up that you've posted today?

Katie, It was Saturday morning about 6:00am Hawaii time. One of the threads was asking for recos on hotels in Singapore and Tokyo. I can't remember exactly what the other was but it had to do with someone looking for inexpensive lodging in Tokyo. No big deal,just found it strange

Aloha!

Katie- I had a post about the upcoming NY mini-GTG that disappeared on 8/14 or 8/15. It had about six or seven posts.

NoFlyZone-the disappearing thread was one I posted prior tro the NYC Mini-GTG. It vanished after a short shelf life. It's purpose was to inform any NYCers of the upcoming events and allow them to attend. At the time, I assumed it was a content driven vanishing. Now, it seems to be one of several. The actual trip report about the GTG has survived, much to beth's dismay.
