I've created several forms using Form Generator It works fine and I've had some responses. Then all of a sudden the "use" folder that the form was created in disappeared. I've done it now three more times and each time after a few hours the "use" folder goes away.
My joomla host company is SiteGround. I wrote them and they said:
"I am afraid that I cannot tell how exactly your folder is being deleted. Most probably it is due to a malfunction in the application itself."
Has anyone had this problem? What am I doing wrong?

This time the 'use' folder stays with other forms, but the main form disappeared after approx, 1 month..... the sub folder and all its contents just disappears... the serving company states they 'do not delete' files nor folders ....
the serving company suggested that there must be something in the form or process file that either counts the number of submissions or number of days then deletes... I believe that the answer to that from the developer is that, it isn't so...
any help would be appreciated..... when the marcadinfo "folder" and all its contents are there it works fine.... of course once it is gone it isn't going to work because it is gone...
thanks in advance for any and all assistance

What has been suggested about deleting forms after x sumissions is absolutely not true.
You do have this page available to the world http://www.marcad.net/forms1/
and as you can see there is opportunity for someone to abuse your forms. Notice the "delete" option.
I suggest that once you create your forms you move them from the use folder to some other folder. I also suggest you password protect the generator so that it can not be abused.

You should never leave http://www.marcad.net/forms1/ open. Everybody can abuse you forms. You should remove all permissions on the files del_form.php and index.php after having created your forms.
good luck

I totally agree with TNTEverett.
