The thread's fine where it is.

I've grown this species before. I also currently grow Acriopsis javanica (aka Acriopsis lillifolia). Both grow pretty much the same way, with Acriopsis indica being the easier one to grow, imo.

It likes it intermediate to warm. The warmer the better. I'd say no cooler than 60 F at any given point in the year for a night temperature.

They are a bit touchy. I'm not quite sure why Acriopsis are like this, but they are. They like quite a bit of air circulation, but they also like lots of water during their growing season. I find that they don't like wet feet. The roots have got to be able to dry out completely between waterings. In the wild, they are found high up on trees on exposed branches.

Moderately bright indirect light.

Moderate to high humidity (60% - 90%).

Do not water heavily during the cooler months or they will rot. Reduce watering drastically for the months of Nov - January and slowly ramp back up from February onwards.

Do not keep cool or the leaves will drop and they'll start rotting out.

Old leaves will drop on the older mature pseudobulbs.

Btw, try watering every other day instead of everyday. If every other day is still too much, then drop it down to watering every 3 days.
