yes, I received a " Friendly Reminder " message saying that : While we understand the need for watermarks on photographs, if you choose to use your website url as your watermark, we cannot allow those photos to be shared on our forums." My watermark is my website address, so now when posting photos I must erase the .com that comes after dervissdesign.

Once threads fall off the end of the index, they're pretty much toast. You can still find them on Google for awhile, and link to them, and sometimes even add to them, but once they're off the index they don't get back on. After awhile they're purged from the system too. The Internet Archive is way behind on its mission, and the Kitchens Forum moves so fast not all threads are sampled, but you can sometimes find really old threads on the wayback machine. You can start a new thread to give your comment.

This is a Taos, New Mexico sunset. Taos is one of my favorite places to be at sunset. The sunset is in front of you and behind you. It was raining. We had to drive to get back to our hotel to get the final sunset. The rainbow was behind us.

I don’t believe there was a controversy. Or maybe I didn’t catch on. Or maybe the OP deleted it after she/he got the information they were looking for. Or maybe it succumbed to ennui.
