Admin - getting permission error Options

[watsonrx13]

I just tried searching for some postings of Root_Werks and when I clicked on a couple, there was an error message that came up, something like I didn't have permission.

The search criteria I used was subject: 6, user name Root_Werks

Here's a couple of the links the search brought back that I couldn't get to:

QUOTE (watsonrx13 @ May 14 2005, 05:06 PM) Can I ask why?  The postings I was looking for were the /6 conversion and attaching fiberglass flares by Root_Werks. You'll have to ask Dan (root_werks). He routinely cleans up (deletes) threads he starts. As the thread owner he can do that. Why do you guys always assume an admin deleted a thread? Or would know why a thread was deleted by the owner? It gets old after a while. 99.8% of thread deleteions occur by the thread owner.

Thanks guys. I never assume that the admins delete any threads, except the obvious ones. I also assumed that the owner, Dan, deleted his thread. I just wanted him to realize that there are some of us that appreciate the time and effort put into these techincal and highly informative posts and often times refer back to them. I'm disappointed that he has deleted these posts as I was using them to gauge the time, effort and cost for my next project.

Unfortunately I am seeing more and more of the really good technical posts being deleted which leaves more of the 'useless bunny-eared' posts left. I understand that this is a 'garage-based' forum and anything (within reason) is allowed. It just seems that as this forum matures, it is moving in the same direction that PP has reached.

Thanks again for the info. BTW, I think the admins are doing a great job... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
