Could someone please action this[^], by moving the original message to the Free Tools forum?
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I think I know which message you are talking about, but for the rest... a link to the message would be helpful to know what you are meaning.
Regards.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I didn't think this was possible (and I can see no good reason why it should be), but it clearly is:
Hit Ball[^] shows a user who has done just that. A quick check shows the voting buttons at the bottom of my own articles, just waiting for me to up down vote them as well!

Oh come on, for some of us it's the only vote we get!

+5 good buddy.

Great to see you do a +5.
If my observation is not wrong, you rarely upvote anything. (not that you avoid intentionally, but out of habit) 
Forgot to say: Your upvote or appreciation does matter. Thanks for the awesome website and knowledge share.

The list of articles awaiting moderation appears to be limited to 5 entries, so if a 6th article is submitted, the first one falls out of view until the later ones get cleared out. This has the net effect that when a lot of AppInvention articles are submitted, many await moderation for many more hours than would be normal.
(or maybe I don't know how to show more than 5)
Solution: (a) FIFO (b) show more than 5

FIFO is a bad idea, because a "dodgy" article that no-one wants to approve, but no-one wants to reject either would never leave the queue, and always display. Five of them...
The Competition articles seem to be being passed through pretty quickly, so I (personally) don't think it is a problem. The competition will be over soon so it should cease to be a problem at all fairly quickly. (And I do hope that a better method will be found for competitions like this in future!)

I don't know Griff, I have two article updates that have been waiting for approval since the 19th. Maybe they're "dodgy"?

We editors go through the entries and clear them out (one way or another).

Which one? There are thousands to choose from.

OK, I figured out what you are alluding to.

It's not specific for Sandeep Mewara, but if you've a colored name.
My name is italic and red, so it's also not showing for me.

Yes. You are correct.

I was editing a solution on largest prime number[^] and when I selected the Update, the solution was gone!
All I did was embed the code in the solution into the appropriate <pre> tags.
I don't see how I could have deleted the solution.
Any ideas what could have happened?
|
|
|
|
|
All fixed. Looks like someone may have deleted it while you were editing. That should't happen

See this thread. Notice one of the messages says "message removed". Here's how that happened.
Marcus posted a reply to the OP. I posted a reply to Marcus. Marcus then posted a reply to mine, indicating he'd delete both his replies. He did so. Since there were no replies to his most recent reply, it vanished. Since my reply still existed, his first reply just said "message removed" rather than vanishing. That's totally as expected so far.
However, I then deleted my reply. As expected, it vanished (since there were no replies to it when I deleted it). However, the the reply Marcus made still remained as "message removed" (not to be expected).
My suggestion is that any deleted messages without replies should vanish, even if they were deleted before their replies (though, they wouldn't vanish until all replies also did so). This could potentially cascade up several levels (even an entire thread).

That was my mistake and I do know better. Unlike Q&A where I have the privileges of deleting comments/answers that shouldn't be there, I deleted my message before remembering that I can't do that to child messages from other users. My humblest apologies for creating the orphan.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I'm anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation. I hope you will accept my most enthusiastic contrafibularities.
In other words, I blame Chris & hamsters, not you.
