Your posts were merged into the correct section for the B-52 deployment, they are in here :- viewtopic.php?f=425&t=181892&p=1132252#p1132252

Which member of Admin did you send a message to?

Thanks it was just sent to admin i didnt have a name but surely i should have been told why it was moved and i wasnt aware of this other section otherwise i might have put there in the first place i think it rather rude to do this and not explain and who did it !!

Please understand that the forum does not charge a subscription fee and that ALL staff are running the forum in their spare time and are all unpaid, they all have jobs, families etc. and they do their best to keep it running smoothly. One of them has merged your posts into the correct thread and obviously hasn't had the time to PM you, probably done in his tea break at work.
If one of your posts 'disappears' then click on 'Quick links' at the top-left and then click on 'Your posts' - you will soon find it in there.
How can you message Admin and not know who you sent the PM to? It will still be in your PM outbox or in the sent items folder.

I'm not sure who monitors the 'Contact us' inbox but the quickest way to contact a member of staff is to go to the Index page, go to the bottom to the list of users online, click on a staff member (Admin are in red, Moderators are dark blue) and send a PM to one of them.
I hope that helps. :)

If the mods didn't merge it with a topic already started it would soon filled up with info being duplicated elsewhere. It has happened before despite folks being told this

I merged the posts, to stop yet another thread. I was getting ready to leave for work, so it wasn't possible to PM this time.

Perhaps you could volunteer too as an admin with such insight?

I’m sure that you will soon get the hang of things Stug298. Several of my posts have both “dissapeared” and been merged/re-located in other spots.
The first time it happened I put it down to finger trouble on my part, subsequent one due to memory loss, then the penny dropped :S
It isn’t life threatening ;)

Going by that logic it would have only taken 10 seconds for you to check if there was a thread already running too? Which would have ultimately saved time and effort. I did something you didn't agree with, time for you to accept it and move on.

I'm locking this thread, sorry Stug298 no PM this time either explaining what happened
