Yesterday I started a thread asking for suggestions to help me quilt my King "postage stamp Around the World. I included photo of it already sandwiched, and another similar top. It has never been posted, Later in the afternoon yesterday, I did a search, and found it saying "in progress". What could have happened to my post? I've started threads before and uploaded pictures, so do not think I missed a step anywhere. I guess I will just use my own judgement and have a go at the FMQ option.

Sometimes we accidentally click the wrong button ... and send it into poof-dom ourselves!

Try posting again. On the news yesterday, they said there was a big cyber war going on with a couple of companies that was messing up the Internet for a week? There was no data being stolen just one company sending massive amounts of data to screw up another company.

Yep, I did it correctly, or I would not have seen it later in the day saying it was in progress. I heard about that cyber hacking, but tho't it was last week? No matter...wherever my post ended up, maybe it wasn't important anyway. I'm definitely certain there was nothing offensive to cause it to be deleted! Just puzzled.

At some point your system probably shut down ... it was in progress too long.

Don't worry so ... just post it again.

nope, not my system...not if I posted at 9 a.m and a search at 1:30 p.m. showed the pix and the ''progress'' message. As I said, it is not world ending. Was just a 'puzzlement' for me.

If it "spun around" for 4-1/2 hours, I would not be surprised that it never posted.
..................make your post again.

And so I did! And many helpful suggestions. The thread is ''post that got lost''...it survived cyber space this time
