I have found some success with pulling out a similiar piece of equiptment, smashing it in front of the problem device, and telling the device 'see what happens when you don't work right'. So far, it's worked with boilers, dice, and squeaky cart wheels. Plus, smashing something with a large hammer can be very satisfying.
May not help with computer thingees though.

I've found that after posting a thread that goes missing, if I post a thread afterwards with the identical title, then they both show up.
I've done it at least a dozen times, it works every time.
Not sure if that helps you Gary...
I hope that you conscientiously then delete the 'double' thread.... :D
Except one time where a bunch of gunslingers got into my thread before I could delete it. Of course, it was the one time where I pasted nonsense into my post, which caused some confusion.

Me too. Unfortunately I can't duplicate it on demand so it's really, really hard to figure out how to fix it.
I'm not a big fan of the "hey let's change random stuff and see if the bug goes away" technique but that's basically the approach I've been left with. :(
You should use my laptop. It happens every single time I post a new thread. I now save my posts to my clipboard, post them, post them again, and delete the second one. Because the first one doesn't appear unless I double-post.
The only reason this one didn't get deleted is because, and this is a first, posting it only made the first post appear, but this post didn't appear til I shut down Firefox and restarted it.
