I started writing an answer on Scientific Speculation and accidentally submitted it in a very incomplete state. Then my toddler came by and started making it hard to work on the stub. So, using my finely honed Stack Exchange reflexes I decided to delete the post until I could edit in into shape.

Only now I can't access it.

Have I stumbled on a incomplete part of QPixel? Or maybe I just don't have a high enough trust level? Or is this a intended as a general thing?

In any case, given the high profile of Stack Exchange in the Q&A market place I suspect others will fall into the same trap, so I think we should either let owners see and edit their deleted posts or we need a warning about the irrevocable nature of that action.

I found the post. Should I undelete it for you right now? (if later, ping me then)

@luap42 I'm short on time again, so I'll have to get back to it later, but thanks.

Oops, yeah -- authors should be able to see that. I'll add it to our board. If you want a copy of the text so you can work on it offline, just let me know how to get it to you (or we can undelete and you can add a "work in progress" notice to the top if you prefer). Sorry about the inconvenience!

@Monica I'm unlikely to get back to it today, so I'll just wait for the time being. Thanks.

@dmckee I think this was fixed. Can you look, whether the answer is now available to you again?

dmckee‭ wrote over 4 years ago

@luap42 I can, indeed.
