Yes, thanks. The post that vanished shortly after posting, in which I had tried to promptly correct the rumoured date you had given (10/26), which I believed was incorrect, to what I'd understood, and still now understand it to actually be (10/28), is now back a last, once again.

Naturally, I can not say what is responsible for its' sudden reappearance, only that it has happened many times before. What is perhaps more unusal here is the reappearance of the original thread itself in Travel Tech.

And again, no, it absolutely was not always there, let me assure you, as can others.

How can you be so very certain that there is/are no problem(s) here? Not simply I hope, just because you do not see the problem yourself? Unless you have officially joined the FT technical staff, and are privy to all the incoming data and analysis of such issues, perhaps we can, by chance, let them investigate and respond themselves?

And no, this was surely not a cache issue, as I had cleared, yes. And it revealed itself, ie the post was not seen, with multiple readers, on multiple machines, at multiple locations, so... that surely isn't it at all, as you can well imagine. Nor have I encountered such difficulties from such cache issue in all my nearly 7 years now on FT.

Perhaps I should also schedule a complete eye examination? Heck, better yet, a complete neurological examination may be indicated? LOL!!!

I'm also admittedly rather curious as to why you're commenting here that you "... posted a correction of the possible incorrect information contained in your post, I pride myself on making sure Travel Technology contains nothing but the most up to date and accurate information, and always label information as 'rumor' when it is not possible to confirm it."

What possible effect might this have on the post I made suddenly vanishing? Isn't this the forum for technical issues? I was soliciting feedback concerning problems with the flyertalk.com boards.

If I may ask, though slightly off-topic, since you mention it, you aren't actually claiming that something I'd posted was incorrect? I've reread it several times and I'm still confused as to what "correction of the possible incorrect information contained in [my] post" you made? What was incorrect please? I posted a 'rumour' as such, and clearly announced it as such, saying:

"...So, I would personally wait 'til after 10/28/06. I'd hate to miss it by only two days! Of course this is just a rumour!..."

And I also provided a direct link to the supporting article, as is my custom.

I see that you, however, did not in your own post, in sharp contrast, post a link. Do you perhaps mean to say that you corrected YOUR earlier post by adding a link to it? Or that you wish to try to help substantiate your earlier post now by posting a link after the fact? Fine!

In any case, I'm just glad to see that the 'lost' post is now back safely restored and I truly hope the the issue of such vanishing posts fast becomes a non issue.

Thanks again.
