I'm a new guy. Why delete me from my own posts subscription???

I go to look at some of the ideas that people were kind enough to answer, and what do I get? "Subscription expired!"
Who the hell ever heard of a question expiring prior to it even being addressed.

For the record, no insults, profanity, or otherwise was used.

Respectfully,

HMCS ZERCIE (FMF)(AC)(AW)(ret)

I've been working with these forums for a combined total of around 29 years and I've never seen an expired thread subscription. Can you recreate the problem, copy the exact error message you saw, and paste it here? Also, which thread were you subscribed to?

Could this happen if a thread were to be deleted or removed from public view, Mal?

No. In both cases all subscriptions to an unviewable thread (deleted or moved) are removed. The user will not have a subscription link to click on. They are recovered if the thread is undeleted or moved back to a public forum.

I'll try a reasonable facsimile of the question in the bolt action section again

Gentlemen/Ladies, I can't explain it, but all responses are there now. My educational background in IT, makes methinks I was stupid enough to turn off iPhone app with forum running.

Besides all that, great way to break the ice! Recently retired and live up in Alaska. My only issue is, I got 15 more years until the government sends me my stupidity bonus lol!

I'm no longer soldier, but I was an FMF Corpsman, you jarheads will know. It's the marines equivalent to a combat medic in army. So long story short, you can all call me "Doc" or whatever nefarious name you got planned.


Thanks again guys

Welcome, FMF Corpsman! It looks like you got the issue resolved, and I'm glad for that.

Well, I moved that post into its own thread in the Rifle Forum, where you're much more likely to get some answers.

And you replied to the email informing you that there was a new post in your subscribed thread. Those emails are for notification only - your text in your reply does not get posted. You need to post in the thread.

OK, the original question has been asked and answered, and we have an "introductions" thread in the General Discussion forum, so I'm going to close this one down.
