    There is no link that specifically references what it is talking about. I deleted posts? Mods deleted posts? Might this have been for editing beyond the time allowed? Kindly indulge me with an explanation, sorry. Thanks.

    Someone deleted likely.

    Odd, too, is getting a mention and someone removes the mention. You click and go to the post ok but there's no mention. Huh?

    Well, users can within a time limit delete their own post. A mod could but as a rule don't though they might move the post to the Hole or Purgatory.

    The "mention" quoted in my OP almost feels like a hack by some tPF ne'er-do-well.

    We had a poster some time ago that would quote someone, post it then delete the post just to be an arse.

    Well, such a person wouldn't then draw attention to him/herself about it.

    I have a suspicion how/who it happened. If I get no explanation in due course, I'm changing my password. But I kind of tend to get paranoid in face of the inexplicable, much like a cave man, I suppose.
