Shame about the lost page though.

Perhaps we could consider the installation of some form of restore software like Norton Go Back to avoid this kind of thing happening in the future.

Or is there any way to disable the feature that lets the moderator delete a whole thread rather than just a single post?

It would be useful to have the equivalent of the Recycle Bin in Windows. That is threads can be deleted and restored if necessary. Only admin can empty the Recycle Bin.

Dave,

It was probably fortunate that it was you that this happened to.

I have a feeling that had it been DaveM people would have been rather less forgiving about it all.

I'm not quite sure whether the words "I apologise" are necessarily in DaveM's personal dictionary? Roll Eyes

Does that mean you forgive me? You said in the other thread that it would be a long time before you forgave me.

Do you not have the words "It was an accident Dave, I forgive you" in your vocabulary? Roll Eyes

For you NGM, you may know "vocabulary" is "personal dictionary", whatever that is. Grin

It was an accident Dave. I have almost forgiven you Wink

Now may be if you could add that number for Five Tv to the Verified list I would forgive you altogether Wink

Except that those other few thousand numbers in the unverified list would still worry me a bit.

There seem to be about 10 active, regular and fairly trusted members of this forum (apart from Dave, DaveM and Daniel). So if you gave us 300 numbers each to do it could surely all be fixed in less than a month?

Five number is in verified list.

"Worry" seems a bit strong. Is it keeping you awake at night? Have spoken to your doctor about this? Grin

I've said before, it's not down to me, it's down to Daniel.

NonGeoMan.

On the initial page there is a column which has a "Started by" heading.

mc661 had originally been the 'starter', but when the topic was 'regurgitated following the 'nuking' his name is now replaced by 'admin' as the 'starter' - history is being cruel to mc661 Wink

But I understand his chagrin - starting the most popular thread in a long time and losing your 'credit'.
Don't worry mc661 WE know!!
