Good evening Kathleen and welcome back!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We are sorry to hear about the reply disappearing on you. Yikes!
I would love to help you with this topic.
It is hard to say what happened exactly when you submitted your lengthy reply.
But it sounds like there was some kind of connection issue at that time.
There is unfortunately no trace of that reply anywhere.
Our replies are published immediately, so they do not need to go through any approval process.
On any site, I highly recommend doing a “Copy” of any content you are about to submit in a form.
It has saved me countless times.
Let me know if that helps.
Have a great day!
Geoff B.
