Two days ago there was a fairly active thread started this week posted on the DBPro forum. It was called "Dark SDK". I posted a lengthy message onto it.

Since then its just DISAPPEARED. A bit Twilight Zone? You betcha. I can't find it anywhere.

One possibility is that one of the Mods deleted it. But I don't believe it. I've seen some threads disappear in the past as well.

Explanation... ?

Rich, I have not been able to "see" that thread for the past three days. I've tried everything INCLUDING forum and google searches. No joy. I think its a very obscure bug.

I've had this before as well.

In fact, for the record, when I look down the DBPro forum thread list, I STILL can't see it. The only way I can now access it is from Rich's link above.

Trust me on this, I've read the title of each thread in turn repeatedly to try and find it.

VERY WEIRD

Cheers,

It's a possibility that a mod 'accidentally' deleted the thread, although threads have been flagged as 'deleted' they're not really deleted, instead, they're just not listed on the main forum and as can be seen above, you can still view them directly using the URL.

In any case, I've 'undeleted' that thread because I don't see why it should have been deleted in the first place.

*Cough* *Cough* You may have missed the post directly above yours where I stated that I had 'undeleted' the thread and that it should now be visible.

It does look like there is a bug here or something.
