I seem to have deleted my entire thread, rather than the one irrelevant entry that I was trying to remove. Does anyone know if it is "gone for good", or are there any tricks to re-locate it? I am most apologetic, since various people took their time to locate info for me.

Hi Anne.

I think once you "delete" your thread.......its gone, and there is no return.

From memory......i dont think even GR themselves can resurrect it.

I'm sure if i'm wrong, someone will put me right.

Sometimes, if you are quick enough after the deletion, if you click on the triangle next to the back arrow at the top of the screen (assuming you are using Internet Explorer), and click further down on one of the Genes Reunited in the list (ie going back into your browsing history), you can get back to it but you would have to copy the info over to somewhere else.

Thank you all - for advice and sympathy! I have seldom deleted anything by mistake, but I shall certainly be more observant in future.

Must be a whole blanket out there made up of loose threads!!

Have a good day

In their wisdom, Genes Reunited have decided that we plebs know what we are doing when we click delete and are all aware that this will delete the whole thread.

They do not feel it neccessary to pop up a little warning...

' This will delete your thread.....continue....Y/N'

although it would be a nice little reminder..........
