Unfortunately a few posts were eaten due to an unforeseen glitch during the https update, though not very many. The trouble with the referenceable topics being buried amidst all the general chatter is a much bigger problem which I'm looking into but it may take a little while to get up to speed.
It would really help if people did a search of the topic before starting new threads, and be politely directed to existing threads in the second post instead of having new threads develop a life of their own. The number of threads about the same topics is getting silly now. It might also help if people didn't try to be too clever or oblique in the thread title, but instead used a useful descriptor of the thread being started.
ETA: This is not meant as an attack on the OP as it appear he did search first. It is a more general issue.
