Disappearing Threads..?
A few recent started threads of mine have disappeared. Is anyone else experiencing this situation?

Recently threads have disappeared from the zipper on my pulpit robe, making it difficult on Sunday mornings to secure my pudgy self behind the black facade. 
Randy, you already packed them for your trip to Jamaica.
They will turn up after you arrive in the land of no snow, nor ice nor howling Arctic wind!

Do you remember which forum you posted them in? I sometimes think I am in C&V and the thread was over in Mechanics, Commuting, 50+, etc.

Are they disappearing, or are you using the forum search to find them?
Forum Search is bad.

I received a batch of spokes in the mail yesterday. On examining them I discovered that the threads run to the end of each spoke and then just disappear completely. I can see where the inner ends of the threads are but I have no idea where the outer ends may be. Probably the same place as the socks.

I often search for threads and fail to find them. The reason is never obvious. I'm pretty sure your threads will reappear when you're not looking.

Yes, that has happened to the bottom bracket threads on my old C40. Let me know where you find yours and I'll look there too.

Randy,
this was only happening to some Canadian members of BF. The new Prime Minister has pledged to stop the muzzling.
I have seen that other peolpe's posts, not mine, have been removed from threads. I don't know who, or how, or why they are deleted, but they are gone and there is no indication that the posts ever existed. All the replies in the thread get renumbered.

Indeed. I've found that Google provides a better forum search than this buggy, ad-soaked forum does.
Instead of using the forum search function, Google "bikeforums.net credit-card touring" or "bikeforums.net" and the keyword you're looking for.
And if you want to make it possible to look up all your posts, just include a scarcely-used, and even misspelled word like "cumquat" in every post, so you can look up all your posts by Googling "bikeforums.net cumquat".
Looking up posts by user doesn't work for squat either, you'll find. But Google is still running strong.

I thought it was 'operator trouble', when I couldn't find anything. Now it makes sense...

Try this. Click on your name on one of your posts, such as this thread. A drop down box will appear. Click on "View Forum Posts." If the missing threads don't show up there, then they must have been eaten by the dryer.
