Slight problem with expiring threads.
POSTED BY: richardg 1 month, 2 weeks agoPeople cannot find/access them again to read the replies! - and in my case I suspect that some of those replies explained why the post was expired/spammed which would have prevented me (and others?) trying to post again.
With regard to this thread: http://hotukdeals.com/item/253657/why-is-my-post-deleted
It was very nice of people to reply, but again what is the point if I cannot access the thread again to read it because someone has expired and locked it?
It was full of valid responses that I needed to see - and perhaps others.
If I search for the thread, I cannot find it. And I cannot see reference to it in my user settings page.
(Thanks for the replies BTW - I can now see where I went wrong with my original deal and I should have re-checked my e-mails. Apologies. )
Unfortunately the only reason I saw these replies was because I used the back button then refresh on my browser to check my sanity (again) to ensure that I had indeed posted.
If this is happening to other users I can see frustration happening for both users and Mods.
Can something be done about this please? There is little point offering advice or comments then making the post unreadable/unfindable.
Hope this helps as I love the site.

I've just checked & the thread you mentioned is still there > http://hotukdeals.com/item/253657/wh...y-post-deleted
Click SHOW TOOLS+ displayed on right side of banner that has page numbers listed on it in text only view, then viewing options will be displayed & click INCLUDE EXPIRED  |

Thx again for the replies - I now can find the thread I posted the link to, by 'including expired'.
Obviously I still cannot find/see the original 'illegal' post(s) I made which, if I could, I suspect may have stopped me re-posting the item if the replies had contained a reason. So whilst I now know the correct work around, it is probable that many others don't so the issue of frustrated members may still exist. Is it possible to send a private msg for 'illegal' post that are deleted and/or make the default option when signing up as 'see expired'. Thanks for all your time help and replies.

When you click that show tools button a green FILTER BY MERCHANT box will appear above the page numbers. Type your retailer name in there <morrisons> & a drop down list will appear. Select the one you want & all the posts relating to that retailer will be listed. 5 listings down is the original light bulb thread. Always worth doing a quick check before you post a deal > http://www.hotukdeals.com/all/all/di...rrisons&mf=241

But the odd thing is, if you click on the ops name and look to see what threads they've started it doesn't appear in the list.
