I am not sure what you mean by clipped posts. Were your posts deleted by GW?

Your clippings should still be there.......go to your member page and check "clippings"

Very interesting.
I have many "good" ones from 3 to 5 years ago...

I just started using the "clip this post" in GW - I had been saving them in my Bookmarks - Firefox on a Mac - and a bunch disappeared, I'm guessing from deleting old threads by GW. I wondered if they also disappear using the GW clippings section when they decide to clean house. If they are safe that's great!
Thanks!

If a post or thread is deleted for some reason (violation of rules) I think the clipping will no longer be in your clippings after you clean/empty cache.

On the busier forums, a post that is clipped, and then drops off the last page (often page 67), the clipping will stay in your clippings, but you won't be able to click on it and read/see the thread in its entirety.

To try it for yourself, go clip the last post on the last page here, and see if it is still accessible in your clippings in a day or so.

Sue...who's maxed out on her clippings and needs to clean them up a bit.

Thanks Sue - the missing posts were mostly from the decorating forum - I see you there, so you know how very busy - and great! that forum is. I get it now - they drop off..... I will continue to use the clippings feature on GW.

You're welcome.

It must be another 'Sue' there...I just lurk a little and admire a lot. I'm looking to get inspired there but don't plan to do much here at home until sometime early winter. I'm lucky to have a very good friend who has a new home that looks like something out of a magazine. She has helped me some and aims to help me more as time permits for both of us.

As busy as that forum is, I'd suggest anything from there of real interest be saved to a file or your pics for later viewing.

Happy decorating!

Sue
