I have disappeared - sort of

Under the general list of composers my name appears, together with the pieces I submitted to CPDL. Great!

However, under the category of Irish Composers, I seem to have vanished. :? Strange. I never noticed it happening. I feel much the same as before. But it's as if I never was. Sad, innit!

Unless I have unwittingly been abducted by aliens, perhaps it is just a glitch - said he, hopefully. :D

Still. Curiosity prompts me to ask: where have I disappeared to? Can I ever be found again?

Humm, it seems you're right, I couldn't find any "Antonyx" at CPDL! Perhaps, if you could provide us with the name by which you're known among us earthlings, instead of your "alien" name, we may get another result. :D

Sorry Carlos,

I should have provided that. It's David Monks. When originally joining up, I understood that a pseudonym was needed, so I gave one. Now I have become attached to it. :lol:

So, if you can locate me and restore me to my rightful place, I would breath easier.

BTW, I checked again this morning. I am still among the 'lost'.

Many thanks for your help.

David.

Carlos, further to the above matter, I have noticed that I do not appear under Irish Composers if I look in on it when NOT logged in.

I logged in just now, and something prompted me to try again. There was my name, where there had been a blank moments before! Seems a bit odd. Does this mean that any/all those who are not logged in don't see me? That would mean, possibly, that I am not seen by a lot of people, perhaps.

Thanks again.

David.

David, I can see your name in the category whether I am logged in or not... however, I did "purge" my cache of the page which may have solved the problem. Just add "?action=purge" to the end of the page URL to do this.

Rob is right, I can see your name now, even if not logged in. The wiki's cache system is a bit inefficient for pages less frequently accessed. :?

Carlos and Robert,

Many thanks. I do seem to have recovered my visibility, even when not logged in. But I'll certainly purge from time to time. :shock:
