I went to my project thread, to edit a bit of information. While I was editing I decided to clear my browser's ... everything to load a flash game. (that still didn't work) Then I was going to submit the edit, but I decided to copy what I had first, since I knew it would log me out. Well it did, so I logged in and it said " request timed out please retry to submit your post " but I noticed everything was blank, and it said Start New Topic as the forum title. So I was like ugh, okay, and I went to look for my thread, but it was gone?? I never pressed delete or anything, and it vanished. So I posted a new thread, but I just thought I should mention this because it was weird lol.
I'm not sure you did post it. Only mods/admins can delete threads so you couldn't have deleted it. Maybe you hit the preview button the first time by accident.
No what happened was his original project thread disappeared. He was editing that so even if he did hit preview, the topic should have still been there. He had to make a new topic entirely.
