    Question Missing (old) posts

    Over the last few days, I've been searching the forums looking for answers to questions I might have, and I've noticed that some threads seem to be incomplete.

    For example, this thread just has replies from egiggey (and one other reply), while it's quite obvious that he's replying to further posts as he goes along.

    I noticed a couple more, but of course didn't bother to report them. Is this just something that couldn't have been helped at the time, or is it a symptom of something bigger?

    Maybe the other user deleted the posts? I remember RyeBread saying that he had lost quite a few (close to 800) posts a couple months ago.

    I was one of the first people to Notify Rye that his Postcount had gone down to 5, literally OverNight, and he was shocked to find this out! Its still unexplained to this day, but it seems that, somehow, in this case, they were accidently mass deleted from the archive.

    You'll find the threads.

    BTW, I Also know of a few that like to delete there posts after they've done the immediate job.

    You should be using www.vbforums.com now - forums.vb-world.net is the old URL and may disappear at any time...
