I have posted two threads during the past couple of days. The second one was posted because the first one wasn't there any longer when I checked it the next day???? Where are they going? Do I need to sign up again for this site or what? Any information would be appreciated. sandraparker.com Thanks!

Sandra if you want to bring your thread back, just change the "age" to 3 days, press "refresh" and bingo! You'll find it. You can then post a new message and it'll be at the top again. If there are very few replies to your thread it will move way down the line - but it never disappears.
My suggestion on your other thread to "hang around" for a while is based on the fact that "Mudcat" is a "community" in the truest sense of the word. When folks come here and talk about a product (or upcoming gig, CD, etc.)without having joined the community and gotten to know a few of the people here - their thread often shoots down the list VERY swiftly. If you'll notice that a woman named Jeri has a thread that's attracting lots of interest. It's because she's a great friend here.(I even know she wears "Combat Boots"!)

The folks here are incredibly generous (I know. I've often been the recipient - wittingly, or unwittingly, - of that generosity) but sometimes we do ask that you take some time to get to know us. Trust me it's worthwhile! Anyway, if you'd like to spend some time here, Welcome.

Rick you are a true gentleman! I have been stumbling around rather awkwardly here - and I haven't been on for quite awhile. Your answer to my question is both extremely polite and very helpful and it just reinforces what I have learned from my past experiences with the Mudcat - the folks that visit and enjoy this site are wonderful folks! I will certainly try to find time to vist more often and get to know some of the "Mudcatters". Thank you! Sandra

Glad you found your thread, I was worried that it might have gone to Cognito with bbc.

Rick is right. This is a very warm, friendly, welcoming and generous group of people. I've been here only a short time, but I feel like part of the "FAMILY".

I hope Joel ends up feeling the same way.
