At least put a &quot;post deleted due to linking to external forum&quot; instead of making us wonder whether we dreamt that we posted it, or not. I do not see a single trace of anything here.<br /><br />I wrote something after that, the least you could do is <b>keep that part of the post that is not an external link</b>.

Where can I see this rule?<br /><br />2) Why was the entire post deleted without any trace? If the external link is removed, then I can understand if it goes against the rule. But what about the rest of my post?<br /><br />Even if I was to complain against a moderator, I would not know who did it, as there was no trace of who did this. albnok Feedback and Helpdesk Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:53:04 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/694614 Ah, finally, found it&#33;<br /><br />ExposurePlot&#33;<br /><br /><a href='http://www.cpr.demon.nl/prog_plotf.html' target='_blank'>http://www.cpr.demon.nl/prog_plotf.html</a><br /><br />Now we can know for sure if we use tele more, or wide, or which end of a zoom, etc. Gonna try this at home&#33; albnok Photography, Digital Imaging &amp; Video Mon, 12 May 2008 17:04:41 +0800
