I got lost, stumbled around, and also could not find my post, even tho Alan's link took me right to others' posts.

Maybe ALAN can help us find them, unless he's stumbled about as well.
WE PROMISE WE DID, oh great Chi-master! HELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP!

Let me know if you find it. Otherwise, it's an all-out SOS. Good luck!

T and me have been trying to find the posts we put on the stumblers website, but now they have  vanished into thin air!

Redirect us there if you can find them, please.

Pretty pretty please!
Thanks,  ;D

Not at all, except for digging in our navels and between our toes for dust bunnies!  ;D

Phew! I thought it was just me......I stumbled and bumbled and even joined up, thus getting an irritating extra toolbar.........but there weren't no posts from you that I could find.  :(

I found myself bamboozled by the site too. The clip below (from http://www.stumbleupon.com/tag/word-games/) shows some trace of BBB's presence, but I'm blowed if I can understand the system. I wouldn't worry about it.

As you can see in the attached chart, there was a momentary surge in visits to the Letterbox page, presumably because the link was shown when anyone clicked on some tag, like word-games, or card-games(?) But the devotees of StumbleUpon soon shifted their focus to new sites. I have seen this sort of thing before, when one of my sites is mentioned on a site that has much higher traffic. It never seems to have any lasting effect - presumably a few hundred people clicked on the link, took one link and then hit the Back button and moved on.

Sorry to those who wasted some time trying to fathom out StumbleUpon. That certainly wasn't my intention - I want everyone to waste all their time playing Chi and Letterbox.

Fickle gaggle - let them go stumbling on without us!

And thanks, Alan, for trying. If you could have only read my golden words about you and Chi, your little heart would have swelled with pride and fairly leapt out of your learned chest!

Thank you for answering my question Alan...
i have no time for those who don't have the same level of commitment as the rest of us who really should be committed.....
