About a week ago I posted a question that has to do with cookies being deleted when I close Firefox. There was no link to any website in it. The question is not there. Do moderators "hold" or delete questions for any reason? Thanks.

Hello sue,

Only the ADMs or Moderators can delete and edit questions own and from others collaborators

Spam is about the only reason a thread may end up being deleted after post has be quoted elsewhere for record, otherwise the spam links may be edited out and thread locked instead.

But sometimes, common questions may also be deleted because they are already available on support forum and knowledge base.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. My question was not spam and I don't believe it could have been addressed. So I have a hard time understanding the disappearance.

I will try to reconstruct teh question ad post it again....

Sorry for incoveninence, I also can't believe how your question can be deleted ? but there may be some technical issue, i will just request you that please ask that same question again on support forum.

Thank you.

Hi Sue, you've posted several questions about cookies.

When you hover your mouse over your user picture (upper right), the drop-down has a View Profile section with a My Questions link. That can help in finding your earlier questions.

As far as I know, that list should be complete.

Thanks. I know how to check my questions, I went through the list a few times to make sure that it is not my oversight, before posting.

I just re-posted the question. Hopfully it will not vanish again. This time I saved the text before posting.
