Thank you Lucy. You have made my point for me really. If we are busy an hour really isn't long enough. I was making a chocolate log and a gallon of bread sauce for goodness sake! grin

...and actually, come to think of it - I was sure that deleted threads actually showed up (with the reason for deletion) in active conversations until they were eventually bumped off of active. Will have to check that out tomorrow hmm

kitty I think that's something we'd have to discuss when we're all back at GNHQ in the week, so will bring it up with everyone then.

I did leave my post up about the thread being deleted for the better part of an hour (much longer than we would usually) so I hoped most people with an interest would see it. While it obviously wasn't your intention, subsequent posts meant it did turn into a thread about the previous two threads - and there wouldn't be much point in us deleting them if they were simply to be rehashed on the next one.

Thanks for bringing the discussion back. Kittylester

I think it would be helpful for a deleted discussions heading to remain with a short explanation such as "deleted at OP's request" or "commercial, spam post" or "inappropriate content/ libellous content"

Yes, that wouldn't help if you hadn't posted on a thread but had been following it with interest.

GNHQ - when I started the latest thread to be deleted, I was asking if we could have a better method of showing that threads had been deleted. It was not a thread about a thread about a thread and nor is this one.

Please can we have a better method of letting us know that any thread has been deleted to save people like me from fruitlessly searching around for one on which we had posted a few hours ago.
