Post with old account
Hope to get all back.
Hello
I used to be registered with the username "matthewralston" and had just under 700 posts I think. It would be nice to get it back.
The this thread was started by me using my old username (with a very old signature!! :)):
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3970
If possible could the posts under my new username "mralston" be transfered to the old one? My new username could be dumped then.
That sounds like it's asking a bit much, but I was always told that if you don't ask, you don't get. :)
Thanks,
by the time we get back the account i hope we will be near to our early no of post and our name will be quite old.. ;) :D
Still unrecovered.

I've got my old name back, but if it could be connected to my old account so that I could access my old posts that would be cool. If not, I'll just keep my new account. No problem either way. Thanks. :)

And sadly, this thread continues to grow.
and sadly it has to be bumped .
Hasn't yours been fixed yet?
neither has scoutt's profile. still reads new member with 100 posts and it should read around 3400, but who cares anyway, they are just post and if the management doesn't seem to care then I guess I don't either :rolleyes:
Mine still isnt sorted :(
Mine is also still not fixed :(
And I guess it never will be... :mad:
:wave:
Perhaps you could see about helping Chenko2 out?

from his sig
Formerly chenko (Still waiting for someone to sort my account out!)
and your worried about this why? it has been over a year and they havn't fixed everybody and I don't think they will.
Because I used to be a regular (v.regular, look at the reply stats in Post Race for instance) and I neglected this place since my un was never sorted.Quote:

cheers NotLKH, its sorta been sorted.. though its just this account name has been changed to chenko, and the old posts which are mine are not assigned to anyone.
and I wasn't?
I was here the same time you were as scoutt, had well over 3500 posts and they never fixed mine.
I was never named scoutt ever, that was a different person.Quote:

And just because you didnt get yours sorted... does that mean noone else can?
Erase the hate!
I didn't mean that. I was scoutt at one time, not you. but Martin sorrted mine as well.Quote:

The database was corrupted before Jupitermedia took over this site. My understanding is that a lot of posts were lost from the forums. We never received the old database and therefore have no way of retrieving those posts.
On a positive, we do regular backups. I'm not sure why previous owners didn't do regular backups. Maybe they did and they were all corrupt too. I don't know, I wasn't here to know the exact details of what happened. There have been stories.....
As to fixing post counts, For a number of people, we manually set posts counts. Although it has been well over a year since anyone has brought this up, if one of the existing moderators vouches for a person and the number of posts, then I will consider making a change.

You should note that there are a few processes that if ever executed will cause post counts to be updated to reflect what is actually in the database. I've been avoiding these processes.
It's unfortunate that my account has not been restored. Due to my work schedule I do not get to post here often, but I have been coming here since early 1999 with this username.
Could an admin set my registration date back to where I had it before the crash of 02? 275 posts, registered in April 1999.
Looks like your wish was someone's command. :)
I guess Marty? (http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...47#post1530447) :D
Cool, thanks. :)
