Am I going mad, or just dreaming?

05/13/2008 5:57 PM

I just had this weird sensation of thinking I was posting a reply to a question, and having clicked "submit" & gone back to Home, it'd all disappeared. 'Twas a daft question, but didn't seem too off-the-wall for a CR4 post.

Can someone please pinch me to make sure I'm not dreaming?

Assuming I'm not dreaming, can whoever pulled the thread please pull this one, so I know I'm not going Mad?

Ta, John.

Edit:-

This is getting stranger by the minute - no sign of the thread at Home, but Guest shouted back at me in the thread, which turned up in my "subscribed discussions"!!!

2nd edit (too late!):-

The new thread appears in "all forum threads", but not on the home page in "latest forum threads", despite it being posted after "ECL Logic" and before "Am I going mad ...". Is there a new policy on what can or cannot appear in "new threads" on the home page?

You're just going mad. Don't worry about it...

Yes (after a bit of rummaging about ) - it was Transformer Prices.

I just had a look at the post timings, and it looks as if I'm neither mad nor dreaming - (it really happened) - tho' there are some inexplicables.

Hi, Mark,

No, I posted as JohnDG. It was immediately after my #1 in that thread that I went back to 'Home' and Transformer Prices had disappeared - but it was there in my 'subscribed discussions'.

Sequence is as follows (all on 13th):

Transformer Prices OP (by Guest): 10:12pm

Transformer Prices #1 (by JohnDG): 10:42pm

Returned to 'Home', no sign of Transformer Prices, so started Am I going mad, or just dreaming? 10:57pm

Went back to my 'subscribed discussions', found Transformer Prices #2 (by Guest, replying to JohnDG): 10:57

Then my #3 in Transformer Prices (by JohnDG, replying to Guest): 11:04

Returned to 'Home', went to Am I going mad, or just dreaming? and posted my #2, 11:16

Please don't get too worried about it - it was just a bit strange at the time. Maybe just a timing glitch or somesuch.

Rgds, John.
