Gezz relax, I was about to post a notice when I saw your post. The thread had been broken (during an attempt to restore it) maybe all of 30 minutes when you posted. Had been trying a restore, and finally gave up when I realized the thread ID number had been lost.
That is what caused the issue, I was trying to replace the primary thread post with my own. There was a creation date problem in doing that.
Right now there is nothing more the moderators can do, other than wait to see how our administrator/coder is able to proceed. So chill future posters, this is not the end of the world as we know it.
I didn't realize it was Ansel's deletion and not a moderator's. I do appreciate your efforts at resurrecting it.
There is no way it was only gone for 30 minutes, though. I noticed it missing and spent a good 10 minutes searching for it before joking with my wife about it.
After that, I noticed a new thread by the same name with you as the OP. That was only there for 5 minutes or so before it disappeared.
I corresponded with another RFF member to see if that member had any insight, and there was probably 20 minutes of delay before I received a response.
After that, I sat down for dinner with my family before posting my reply.
Nevertheless, I'll definitely agree it wasn't gone for very long. As I've said, it's good of you trying to resurrect the thread.
Despite some of the exchanges in it, there are some valuable discussions in it.
