There is a case in wich posts are lost in any forum:



1) Start a new discussion whith a first post, let's call it (1)

2) Make a second post (2), replying the first one.

3) Start a reply to (2), say (3), and while you are writing it... (not yet sent)

4) Delete (2). No problems since it does not have any children yet.

5) Send (3). Its parent will be (2), since it is not checked.

6) Result: (3) is lost and it does not appear when viewing the whole discussion, since his parent (2) has been deleted. Anyway it appears in the Recent activity, in the right column. Any responses to that post will be lost as well. We have lost many forum posts this way. :-(



I think the best way to avoid this problem is not allowing to delete a post when anyone IS writing a reply to it, as it is done when anyone HAS posted one. It can be fixed also just checking the parent of any post when it is sent, but the problem there is that you would loose whatever you have written in that post (bad thing).



Could this be fixed? Thanks in advance.
