Art, and others, disappearing posts are not uncommon, but they are almost NEVER the result of censorship.

I have it happen now & then, too.. I try to always LOOK to see if the thread I posted to goes to the top...if not, I hit 'back' in my browser. Usually, your post is still there like you typed it. There can be a problem with cache updates or something..so.... go to your post, copy it...then hit 'reload' in your browser..NOT 'refresh' in Mudcat...go to the thread again and paste your post back in. This time it WILL take.
