Hi Catherine,
I can assure you that it wasn't Gareth who deleted your post.
I am the longest serving moderator for B & W and authorised to act with CD in Steve Donnison's absence. It was was me who deleted your post because as from tomorrow 19 August, there will be no moderators online to either pre-moderate posts nor to answer. Therefore, I took the decision and the site owners will back me up on this to delete your post.
We always advise members to keep a copy of any post they submit for the forums, just in case the software decides to play up.
If members continue to post, despite being asked not to, it will just lead to a back log of messages awaiting moderation when we are back online on 1 September.
Also, for your information, and that of other members, the ability to access the forums is not part of your subscription to access the guides in the members only area.
Let me assure you that the reason for the decision by the site owners to close the forum temporarily is due to moderators ill health, and holidays.
For definitive information please see
