Where do posts to Conversations go to?

April 21, 2010, 08:44 AM posted in General DiscussionI just added a comment to a Conversation. A conversation with myself in more ways than one - first it was a post I made a couple of weeks ago and it used to appear under Conversations: bodawei. Second, this post made a couple of minutes ago appears nowhere except on the original Conversation - it does not appear on the Dashboard under Latest, and it does not appear under the Conversations tab. So I cannot even see it myself unless I scan through my old posts and remember what I called the post. I called it China the Beautiful, totally without irony. ;-)
Can anybody explain this - how do I get such a post to appear on the boards. A new post will appear but a comment on a post will not. right?

April 21, 2010, 08:53 AMThat IS weird. My first comment in this thread appeared in Conversations, but the original post did not. Perhaps the Techies could have a look at this?

bodawei,
Mate,as you said ,previously your post prior to the change was under "bodawei". Since the changeover there is no group called "bodawei" [unless you are a guided or executive subscriber] so it would not appear. You have to go back to your old post and republish it under the group "general conversations" just like this one is in.IHTH

Hi Barbs, thanks for the low down. I had not caught up with that feature of the new system. You are on the ball. I take it then that all of my old 'bodawei' Conversations are invisible to the rest of the world. Almost like the real world. :)

I think so mate. Unless the IT team have rectified it since last time I checked ,otherwise they may all need to be republished. But everyone republishing all there posts would be long and laborious and lead to mayhem I s'pose so ideally they'll fix it. Of more concern to me is that I can't find any of my posts at all [even under the my posts section ] from prior to march this year. I was particularly looking for my self coined Chinese words thread...it was going to be my one claim to fame in this world ;)

April 21, 2010, 08:52 AMOkay, new posts don't appear either - but at least they show up at the top of the list when you go to Posts. But not in Conversations. A perfectly contained conversation - at least there should be few arguments.
