I think I have blotted my copy book!

Sometime after 21 August I sent a post re my great grand parents James William Stubbings & Elizabeth Carter to my Stubbings thread in the Essex County forum and then I had to go away and then I had to have my laptop reloaded etc. so there was a time gap before I got back to the TopDog community and then I discovered that I had been "sent to Coventry" - suddenly there was a complete cut off from my thread.

So I thought very hard about all this and now I see that that posting has disappeared so I am sure I must have offended against the community's rules and sensitivities. I am very sorry about this but I need help to understand what I did that was offensive. Could you help me?

In the meantime I am back off to read the beginner's Start Up forum to see what I must have inadvertently done.

Is there something I can do to restore the community's faith in me? I really hope so.

Hello Mattie - please do not fret - you have done nothing as far as I can see to have blotted your copybook. {-(^^)-}

What do you mean that "there was a complete cut-off" from your thread? The last post that I can see on the thread was made by you on 21st August. :confused:
 
We aren't deliberately ignoring you, MattieO: if you haven't contributed to a thread for a while then it soon drops off the 'What's New?' listing. Then it's out of sight, out of mind as they say.

If you have followed up the various research suggestions made in the thread and have updates or further queries, then why not add them in a new post at the end of your original thread? That will make it pop up into view again.
 
Is this something to do with the way in which one's own threads do not seem to appear (when logged-in), whereas thay are presumably visible to everybody else?

I am sorry, euryalus, but I do not understand that comment at all. All threads are visible - to oneself as well as to others.
 
I think what Euryalus means is that one's own threads do not show, when logged in, in the "What's New" section even though they are there in the forum in which they were posted
 
Having said that I just found mine. but I have sometimes not! Maybe just not looking properly:oops:
 
I understand what euryalus is saying. If you have replied to a thread or started one, you can't see your posting until you log out and then back in again and I often find, only if someone else has posted on it....
Sorry. :p Just stirring the pot...not hanging around for rest of discussion... off to Heather and Colin's neck of the woods for a few days and maybe a cemetery or two.:)


Londoner said it better..................
 
Yes, as "Half Hour" has just pointed out, you have to log-out in order to view newly-posted thread, but if someone else replies, the post turns up under "What's New".
 
The 'What's new?' page only shows threads that have been updated since your last visit (if you're logged in). Click on the 'All Recent Messages' link on the 'What's new?' page to see a list of all recent messages, including your own.
 
Hi Mattie,

This thread appears to have moved away from your original issue, so to bring it back on track, please post again on your original thread the details that appear to have gone astray. As Huncamunca said, it will bring it to the top of the new posts again. :)
