Phantom or orphan (maybe deleted) thread?

[Jart]

I had posted a pic link and reference to a Famars Rombo 4 barrel shotgun in a thread about a 4 barrel derringer sort of thing.

When I went back the thread was missing - first thought was that it had been deleted but I didn't recall it being the sort of thread that was heading for a lock, much less a deleting. I believe it was originally in "general handguns".

Anyhow, when I did a search on my username and keyword "Rombo" I get a momentary page that says something like "complete match found in one document" which then goes to a page "Sorry no matches. Please try...".

Strange, enh?

I'm not all that 'puter savvy but it seems the sort of result I'd get had I inadvertently posted in a hidden forum (match found then no match found). Less likely I suppose would be Famars raising a stink about my link but I'd have gotten a PM about that wouldn't I? I tend to operate with the belief that manufacturers like their stuff posted elsewhere but that may not be a valid belief on my part.

Jart, you have a PM.
