Help! Lost post.

I seem to have just now accidentally deleted a post of mine. Is there any way of recovering it?
It was on the “sometimes we need humour…” thread, which I was trying to put a link on to the similar thread Pauline started today.

Hi Mary,

Normally mods/admins would be able to see deleted posts, but I’m afraid there aren’t any deleted posts visible on the humour topic. Perhaps if you delete it straight after writing it, it goes away permanently? Sorry I couldn’t help.

Thanks for trying Chris. When I opened the chain it cut straight to an Edit, which it looked as if I’d been doing on something I’d written and got distracted and forgot to finish (I have no idea what!) Maybe it was just something I hadn’t finished writing. Heigh ho. It couldn’t have been that funny or I would have remembered it. :roll_eyes:

The site will save a draft of any post you’re working on but haven’t yet submitted. If you reopen the thread (even on another device) generally it will show the draft.

I must have deleted the draft then. Ah well, no great loss. Thanks Chris.
