I posted a question on this forum yesterday and followed it for awhile but there were no replies. When I checked again today the original post was gone altogether, and Search did not list it either. What gives? It was titled “validates\_length\_of and char fields” or something like that. Shauna ---

It happened again! I should have been more explicit: the lost postings are to the Ruby on Rails forum from the list at the left of this page (and all the forum pages). I made another post to the Ruby on Rails forum about having more that one database open on the same machine, just after I posted the note below. The note below remained, but the other one disappeared. At first I thought maybe it was because I created the posting as a Guest, so I registered before posting again but the second post to Ruby on Rails also disappeared!

Oops, I take that back. I found an answer to the second posting which, I guess, overwrote my original. But I still can’t find the first one that disappeared - maybe someone changed the subject line? Sorry, I’m still getting used to the modus operandi of the ruby-forums. Shauna ---
