    If you ever have a problem do contact Support and describe what has happened that makes you think there is a problem.

    1tess – if your posts disappear please let us know. It should not be happening.

    suelagoo2 – you are not banned anywhere :)

    And that thread is long? Not really
    http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/chatterbox/f.23/
    There are threads of over a million and more replies.

    (and before you ask I don’t go there, it was pointed out from another forum where a thread was thought to be long)
    (honest, I really don’t go there)
    Bet someone doesn’t believe me :)

    Wait…what’s this OFF TOPIC thread doing in the Support Forum? #justsaying ;-)

  • Unknown's avatar

    Well if you think you are banned from Off Topic you wouldn’t post it in Off Topic in case it just went Off Somewhere Else :)

    @mark,
    I contact support every time it happens, but no one ever explains what triggers the problem. I can see my posts, but no one else does—

  • Unknown's avatar

    It’s the number of links. I think you can post five links no problem, but sometimes I post up to ten or so, and that’ll set it off.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yes, I know you said that before, but it has happened to me posting no links sometimes, posting two links sometimes. And at other times I forget and post 4 or 5 links and nothing happens.
    Shrug! But I hate taking time to answer a question and then it doesn’t appear, both ’cause I wasted my time and ’cause the poster doesn’t always get an answer asap.

    Perhaps it’s got something to do with the number of links you post in a day? Because you’re more likely than me to post links in the Support forum.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hmm. Could be. I mostly just answer the easy questions so I suppose I do post lots of links in a day.

    The weird thing is, I’ll be invisible in one thread and I won’t realize it immediately so I’ll post in another one and I’m visible again. Only going back to where I was invisible, I stay invisible in the thread until support fixes it.

    I read a novel where the main character became invisible and he was able to steal things and build up quite a fortune. Seemed like a good idea until he fell in love and the woman couldn’t take having an invisible partner. I guess the point was that being invisible isn’t a good thing…

    The number of links in a comment that trigger invisibility can be as few as one.

    Somewhere back in the mists of time, Alex mentioned something about having taken care of that problem. I don’t know if it was on an individual basis or not. //shrugs

    @justjennifer
    No the invisibility problem still persists and I usually send Staff an email everyday. I am no longer putting more that 2 links in any comment, however, as I said previously I have seen instances where including a single link did trigger invisibility.
