Hi All,
I'm a long time lurker but new member in terms of posting, having only made a handful of posts. I tried my first time starting a new topic rather than replying to other threads. I got a DM about it from another user, so I know it was posted successfully. But, when I checked in a few minutes later it appeared to have been deleted. Does anyone know if there's a good way to figure out what I did wrong?
Thanks!
Tad

Yes, just send a message to one of the moderators.
I'm sure they can tell you the reason your post was deleted.

Sometimes they take it down temporarily and re-post it with a different (clearer) title. Or they move it to a different section.
