Lately, the BP forum has been flipping all over the place which has been doing my head in. Posts disappear regularly. I am so confused. I can't even find my own post's lately sometimes which is ending me. What is going on? My poor, broken BP brain just cannot take this. Is there reason to this madness? or just my madness?

I'm just confused in general. Not about this place specifically though.

I posted a thread awhile back and had it deleted because it was embarrassing.

Maybe a lot of people are having their posts deleted.

I might be alone here, but posts that don't deal specifically with bipolar should be put in threads more appropriate to the subject matter of the post. Posts like, just for example, ""What color is your cat?" don't belong in the BP section. Also, triggering posts (dealing with suicide & such), or posts by spouses of BP folk are generally bumped or re-classified.

I'm sure you might be in agreement with my former point, but the latter points are PC policy. Sorry if your BP posts are disappearing without notice.

I use the "Quick Links" drop-down (click the little arrow) to go to "Subscribed Threads", but you might need to check at "Edit Options" or wherever to be certain you are automatically subscribed when you post.

I've never seen more weird or innapropriate or just plain off the wall posts lately. I'm getting kind of tired of it and may stop coming here. I don't know.

My personal opinion is this board is going back to what it was when I first arrived and I for one am happy about it.

As Emgreen said , posts that are not specific to Bipolar are moved by Mods I guess.

Too many bipolar threads that are people really need help with Bipolar wind up hitting page 2-3 and no one sees them.

No offense to anyone of course.

I think that the fact that not every single post here deals with symptoms and meds and other treatments but rather it is about our human experience.... makes this forum unique.

I post here non-BP stuff because I want to talk about it with the crowd here rather then have a watered down general discussion elsewhere.

Because this is the coolest section of PC. Other forums can go suck it

[emgreen]

Hey, venusss! What color is your cat??? I know what you're getting at, though.

[gina_re]

It's not you. This is why I'm not so consistent being on here anymore. Some threads look like they're created out of boredom. I skip a lot of them now and just pop in and out of the forums. The posts I think really need attention do get pushed back and I feel bad about that. I try and catch them when I can. Who cares what color your bedroom is or what you did when you met so and so. This forum is just so active in genereal, however.

[leejosepho]

I am trying to fit myself and my posts to whatever is best in an overall sense, and I welcome PMs or whatever from anyone who might have something for me to consider. My own experience with therapy and such is from many years ago when all of that seemed much different, and most of what I have learned since has come from other sources.

------ive noticed people acting unlike themselves on this and another forum i use. I think its all the stress from the holidays and the dark in winter.
Use all your stress busting tricks, folks. hugs!

Yeah, the forum goes weird on me too. It turns white and looks like it's in some beta testing stage.

[Icare dixit]

This thread is weird.

The colours and dimensions of things are in files separate from the posts themselves and probably on a separate server which might not always respond (there are probably fewer of those which makes it more likely).

It doesn't seem weird to me!

Thanks. I don't understand computer stuff. As long as all these servers arent planning some Terminator style revenge on humans then I'm okay with it.

I think what you're seeing is the posts being deleted by the users or mods moving them. This whole place is in one big great upheaval sometimes. But just hang in there and just post to a thread when you see it. I gave up trying to track down the threads I post in, because I think I will go crazier than I already am!!!

What colour is your cat? Mine is grey.
Kidding, kidding!

Or it could be that...

Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder.

[pirilin]

Weird to the point that I don't find threads to post to. I'm glad for this one.

[BeyondtheRainbow]

I'm afraid that I've been guilty and have been the one with the cat stuff on here. I felt it was relevant as it has been affecting my mood/stability significantly but if it's not appropriate I will not post such things again. I am truly sorry if I've been annoying.

NOOOOO!!! Pets are great as support systems! When I wrote that I wasn't referring to you...I was just being a smart *****.

Ok, thanks. Seriously if anyone was bothered by the posts I'm sorry. Losing my cat is very, very difficult and I don't have a huge support system. But I certainly don't have to post such things here.
