Filing this under maybe I’m crazy 😳🤣

Pretty sure there was a topic asking about “enterprise ready” that I wrote a fairly long and detailed response.

I’m suspecting that the topic was deleted.

I’m wondering if there is any value in an approach where when a topic is deleted, contributors get notified in a PM, or maybe get their posts in the topic as a PM.

Don’t want to make a mountain out of a molehill, just processing by typing out loud.

🤷🏻‍♂️

i believe the category the topic was in was made private because it was unintentionally public.

Makes perfect sense.

My hope is that the insight was useful to whoever needed it. 🤗

It would be cool if you could have access to your own posts, even those in topics that have since been deleted.

Sorry for the mishap.

A few wires got crossed on our end and we still need to untangle them.

That won’t happen immediately, but it will happen soonish, at which point, the world will again be able to appreciate your response.

All good, ultimately just a sanity check on an unexpected experience. Good learning for me as a non privileged user here.

It’s actually kinda nice to be in a space different from the forum I run and “have” to see everything.
