For klaus or any active moderator;
I submitted a post Jan 25 2016 to the "window to window functionality lacking?" subject.
Any reason why its no longer there? I checked after I posted it and it was definitely in the system under that subject.
I made several edits but then checked again after the final edit and it definitely was in the system with no issues reported back.
Thank you.

I don't recall deleting it. Unless it was offensive or spammy I don't think anyone would have deleted it intentionally. Unfortunately, if it was deleted I don't think there's a way to recover it. Was it especially long or detailed? Perhaps you could rewrite the gist of it?

for fouthworld and klaus;
Thanks for your responses.
Hmm I did not think you folks would intentionally remove it because even when there are disagreements in techniques or ideas I personally always try to express things professionally and would never intentionally try to hurt someones feelings etc.
Although fairly new to livecode, I have been in numerous forums ranging in different scripting programming topics to systems engineering throughout the last 30 years without a single incident that would merit a deletion so I just wanted to be sure there was no type of misunderstanding.
At this point its probably not worth trying to rewrite so again I just wanted to make sure there were no issues with the post that would merit a deletion.
While I still have your attention, can any of you two experienced moderators do me a huge favor?
I have not received any response from an experienced livecode person to the posting titled: "Unclear on using “sample stacks” from the livecode toolbar".
Its in reference to an app I have completed that has resolved most of the issues that folks in this and other livecode forums have been complaining about for quite a while now with regards to issues with the built in regular expression functions.
I want to share this app with my fellow "live-coder folks" and by doing this provide benefit to the livecode community.
I am just unclear in how to go in announcing this and in what part of the forum this should be in and what files I am allowed to share etc. I don't want to violate any forum protocols or rules regarding something like this.
The details of what I want to share and the exact questions I need guidance on to make the sharing successful are in that unanswered post titled: "Unclear on using “sample stacks” from the livecode toolbar".
I would greatly appreciate if any of you two could provide me with guidance in this regard. Like I mentioned, I just don't want to inadvertently violate any forum protocols or rules for things like this.
Thanks again.

Hi
Just to put your mind at rest this happened to me once and only when i kept editing and re editing for smelling pistakes.
As to your question about sample stacks I could not answer but suggest as a start to post a zip file here and with the question reiterated in the post and by osmosis I would think the answer will arrive .. plus we get to see this tantalizing code
Regards Lagi

Many readers here use the "New Posts" link on the front page after logging in. I encourage people who have an urgent but unmet need to add a new post to such a thread to "bump" it back into the "New Posts" list (though please no more than once a day to avoid a flood of bumps).

For lagi and Fourthworld;
As minimum direction here do I need to supply both the stand alone executable file (.exe for windows) and the .livecode file or just one of them?
Thanks.

The LiveCode stack file would be best for sharing with other devs.
