Jack White Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 This morning I opened a new posting which seemed interesting, but just as I got started reading it, it vanished. That had never happened before. The first few paragraphs started out about the person's father being a dentist in Grapevine Texas. That was as far as I got when the message suddenly disapppeared. I searched for about five minutes trying to find it and could not. I even used the search function, entering the word DENTIST with no results. Anybody know what's going on here, and what the posting was? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I therefore have to anticipate 'user error' as the most likely explanation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just sitting here reading the screen when it suddenly switched to another message in another thread. I didn't touch anything. That is why I called it an oddity.

Bill Miller Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 (edited) The first few paragraphs started out about the person'sfather being a dentist in Grapevine Texas. That was as far as I got when the message suddenly disapppeared. Anybody know what's going on here, and what the posting was? Jack I am guessing that possibly the message was supposed to self-destruct after you had read it, but the timer was set incorrectly. If it wasn't that, then the only other thing you might do is check your forum tools option and see if you have somehow accidently put a check in the box next to the "disappearing ink" option.

Bill I'm more inclined to think that a naked "spook" was tapping into Jacks internet connection. He is the most dangerous photo expert in America don't you know. I'm sure the secret agents are all lined up ready to get a crack at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dolva Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Most amusing. Jack, you are referring to the top post on the second page of the General Walker 'a pauper?' topic. I had to replace my mouse recently as one button started to intermittently misfire, opening and closing things at random. Perhaps something like this happened.

Jack White Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Thanks, John. That was it. I still can't figure why it vanished from the screen. Maybe some malfunction as you suggest. It should have come up in my search, since the word DENTIST was in the posting. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
