Just spoken to the admin peep who deleted this for an explanation & they send a apology to everyone. They were on their phone reading the forum and have managed to inadvertently delete the thread completely in error. They didn't even realise they had done so until I messaged them to ask why!
Apologies to the 4 people (last I saw) who had posted in it. None of you are at fault. Fat fingers on a phone are to blame!!
