It seems that a couple of recent stories have suddenly disappeared off our screens. We are looking into the cause but I apologize for those who were having a discussion which has now been cut short.

We will keep you informed.

    I might be missing one but I think it's the "Google lets you Opt out of AI training" that is missing. I didn't think the AI overlords would punish us this harshly for not providing their models with free language content ...

    It seems to me like the eclispe article is gone as well, maybe it "eclipsed" itself.

      I have reproduced the 'Eclipse' story - it will be out in a few hours time.

      The other 2 missing stories can still not be found. The problem might be linked to using an Android smartphone for editing, but that is still speculative and unproven. Pressing the 'update' button - which is what we do when we edit stories - appears to have deleted stories rather than updated them.

        I still have the Google story in my "submit story" list, as I submitted it. So I can resubmit that again if needed and wanted.
