I don't use these forums that often so I may have done something wrong. Am I overlooking something. I also see links I didn't put up so that is a bit confusing too.
This topic is very important as it deals with my experiences on an artist community that I fear is a scam for all artists.

What happened to my post
The link I just posted says Hamster 157890980 reports - The topic or post you requested does not exist or has been moved to a restricted area.
What does that mean?
Why am I moved?
How can I find this?
Did I do something wrong?

diggersstory- Welcome to A2K!
One of the things that a forum has to contend with are spammers. As a result, brand new members cannot post links to websites to prevent promotion of that site. If there were links on your first post, one of the moderators probably pulled it.

WOW THANKS for such a speedy response.
I put it up on the testing forums and it worked. What can I do to put it up on the regualr forums. What can I do to make it right?

Like I said, contact the help desk.
The testing forum is for just that.... testing. A few posts to try things out.
Just start another thread in an appropriate forum. Go to the forum index page http://www.able2know.org/forums/index.php and select whatever you think is the most appropriate forum for your topic.

OUCH
I have followed your advise and then I think I got banned. I couldn't get back here to post anything or see anything but this message to contact support. Hmm ok well I don't really get what is going on but I am here today. I suppose that is a good sign.
Would it help to keep testing. My thread went up on testing yesterday but need to find it today to see if it still is.
Thanks everyone for being so helpful!

No you didn't get banned. At least I don't think so. Sometimes the site server plays up and kicks us all out. I think the hamster that run the site get tired .
It only happens occasionally so dont worry.

digger -- if you don't understand why your posts were pulled then I'd suggest contacting the help desk and ask specifically what the problem was and how to get your message across with running into trouble.
I read your description of the situation on your new thread in Testing and I think you could say what you've said there to get your point across.

It seemed that way (just a little... short perhaps).

Well, I read her current description and was able to get her message. I don't see anything in that post that would get her in trouble.

The problem I was talking about has since ceased. It was a fairly severe, persistent database problem that would deny access to (often the last page of) threads.
