    I asked a question a few days ago on one of these forums. Someone answered it and I was sending him a follow-up question to get clarification. But this website labeled my follow-up as spam and refused to publish it. Naturally now all that I wrote is gone, so I don't want to go through the lengthy process of trying to re-type it, especially since I've no idea what it was that caused this website to identify a false positive. Without knowing that, I'm likely to just have a repeat of the problem I encountered.

    So what is it that's causing this website problems?

    So back to the original issue; if it never successfully posted then there would not be anything to restore. What I usually do when creating a lengthy post / reply is to do it in notepad. That way if there's some issue posting then I have a backup. I know it does not help in your specific instance but might help in the future.

    Excellent question, Richard. I'm sorry I didn't make that clearer earlier. The forum is Windows 10 Hardware & Performance. The post is Why has Windows Spotlight stopped updating?

    Has it been fixed?  You can see that there was an Undelete done yesterday.

    No, I'm sorry I've not been clear again. My fault. It isn't the case that I successfully posted my follow-up question on these forums and then it some later point it was deleted. What happened was the instant I tried to post my follow-up question it was then, immediately identified as "spam" and therefore never allowed to be posted.

    No sorry Richard, I can't remember the exact wording used when the forum software rejected my post. Basically it said something about my post having been identified as spam and therefore it refused to allow it to be posted.

    It once was that at some point in lengthy edits I would get a mental twinge:  What if there was a power failure now?   That's when I would do a backup such as you are suggesting.  However, now that I am working with my Tablet which has a battery I only get the same concern if it isn't plugged in and the battery level is approaching its Warning level.  Last week I got a nasty surprise from IE though.  I had prepared a fairly involved response that required doing a test on another machine and therefore had to leave that tab (not backed up!) in the background.  Something happened in one of the other tabs and all IE tabs "recovered".  Result:  poof!  no more post.  I cobbled enough of it together again but it was definitely not the same quality that it would have been if I had been more careful about making a checkpoint for my work.  I am reminded of a sign a program manager had posted on the wall over the terminals we used:  "Jesus saves every 5 minutes.  Do you?"   Still good advice.
