You have been posting your site feedback in the wrong forum (Gettnig Started), so the moderation team has been moving them. Any feedback specific to the site should be posted in the "Feedback on this website" forum (http://forums.asp.net/188.aspx/1?Feedback+on+this+website).
Please use a subject line which is specific to the problem you are experiencing, such as "My posts to this forum are disappearing".
The problem is that this forum is broken in too many ways to place in a subject line: I am using IE 8 on XP. There are many problems: 1) The forum keeps losing my messages, I will keep poting them again and again until I get an answer. 2) Search does not work,
I try to search for my messages and another different search box pops, and I have to enter the search again. This search box does nothing at all. 3) The {powered by MSDN} banner keeps blocking some of the messages. This is probably an incorrect use of absolute
positioning. 4) Preview of messages does nothing at all, it is like the button is not attached to anything.
1) The forum keeps losing my messages, I will keep poting them again and again until I get an answer.
And the moderators will continue to delete your duplicate posts. The forum is not losing your posts. Your multiple duplicates have all been deleted, and if you continue to flood the forums with duplicate posts you will leave the moderators no choice but
to ban your account, so please don't do that.
We want to help you find whatever it is in your environment which is preventing you from interacting with the site. So we'll work with you on each indivdual issue that you've posted in this Feedback forum.
You could have explained this instead of simply deleting the postings with no explanation. I just thought that this missing postings was yet another one of the many bugs.
An email notification is sent when a post is deleted, but you many not get the email for 15 or more minutes after the deletion. That notification includes the reason for deletion.
Additionally, if a post is made in an incorrect forum, the moderation team may move posts to a better forum. To see all threads in which you have participated, you can use the "My Threads" link in the Shortcut module which appears on
http://forums.asp.net/ (as well as other places in the site). A link to that also appears in the dropdown under your username in the top right corner of the screen which appears when you hover on your username.
It should show you both threads that you've started, and threads in which you have participated. Are you seeing threads in which you have not participated at all?
Moderation team deleted and moved posts without posting that this was what they were doing. Eventaully they did leave a post that indicated that they deleted and moved posts.

Normally you should get a mail from such actions. Did they get caught by a (corporate) spam filter?
Bottom line, simply create one thread with a clear question and subject and only make it once in the most appropriate forum. You'll get answers faster.

I make sure to never use an email address that I pay attention to whenever I use an email address for any forum. This practice has completely eliminated all spam from my inbox.

There are many problems. One of the problems is that my postings disappear. I am using IE 8 with XP.

In that case, I can't see how you can reasonably complain that you weren't informed about your duplicate posts being removed.
