Howdie,

I’ve just checked my Facebook page and one of the posts seems to be completely gone. I’ve checked trash and it is not there. I haven’t deleted any of my posts and all it looks strange.

It has been published as per Facebook on 21.02.2013.: PS4 revealed – first thoughts. I have it backed up on a file on my PC, but I am interested how it got deleted without receiving a notifcation or whatsoever. What could be the reason?

Kind regards,
Valentin

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi again timethief!

Thank you for your time and efforts.

I still can’t get it – the link you’ve posted lead only to my most recent articles and could not locate this. As I said, I have a back up on my PC. However if I post it now it would be with today’s date stamp and I could not retrieve the place the original one.

Any idea what the reason could be that it disappeared? Could it be removed without notice from a webmaster?

No, it is only me, so no one could delete it, and if someone could log in there is no point of deleting just this exact post.

Thank you for your kind assistance, I am subscribed and will be checking it out.

Have a nice evening (day).
