(ORIGINAL OP)
THis is a test --
7/31/15 12:06 AM
My practice log (Views, meta-views_ Pariyatti Practice) mysteriously disappeared early this morning, just after adding a huge post.
This is a test -- create a dummy thread, then see if deleting it is possible, e.g. "Move to the recycle bin" -- may have done that inadvertently to the former thread?
[test,test...]
Yes -- quite possible. There's "Move to the recycle bin" both at the top of the thread itself, and on the "Recent Posts" page in the pull-down menu "Actions". -- poster can move to recycle, with option of "Undo".
Could someone else add a dummy post here, so I can test it it's still possible to wipe out the whole thread even with other people's posts added?
(I've got all the text in that old thread backed-up and can re-create it, but first try to figure out what happened to the old one...)

Thanks, Mark.
Turns out, after someone else posts in the thread, trying to "Move to the Recycle Bin" results in:
"Error: You do not have the required permissions."
So... back to the drawing board as to where the thread went...
(maybe it was a blue-moon demon?)

(CURRENT STATUS (mystery))
Above two messages launched and added to this thread. After Mark added a message, the whole thread could not be deleted (move to recycle bin), but my individual posts could be (were) deleted by me -- except the OP post could not be deleted if it had more than one response:
"Error -- You cannot delete a root message that has more than one immediate reply."
(so deleted the 3rd message first; then OP was deleted, leaving just Mark's message; then added this message to explain it all).
I have all the contents backed-up, but it's 8 pages, 4000 words, 28,000 characters of stuff, a piece of work to reconstruct. Would like to find out why the former thread disappeared before the effort to put the stuff back in here.
