    account into the vapor...

    Doesn't matter, but my account here vaporized. Did this happen to anyone else?

    Disappeares as well

    I've gone too - hours of lovingly handcrafted posts disappeared into the ether...

    Problem is I can;t even search on my old username which sort of sucks, cos I want ot find something I posted a while ago ...

    Not only that but - my posts prior to vaporization are still there -but I'm a "Guest". I read one in Maths like that just a second ago.

    Guest is close to "ghost"

    have you tried searchig using your old username as a search term? (as opposed to searching by user)

    Well, that found them all...

    Probably the one advantage of hand typing my sig each time is that is exists in the post and isn;t added later on... all 40 pages of results came back... :-)

    Still, it's a pain...

    No, I recant that last post. It just seemed to find all the posts that were made today... unless I screwed the search up, which is always a possibility...

    You'd need someone to verify the original post count

    Well think about it.
    If you said you had 4000 posts, who's to disagree ?

    Jim,
    I think that the site is just confirming what we all knew - that you are a lame ass beginner with limited knowledge in personal hygiene never mind VB programming I don't quite understand how Jamie kept his post count using the same logic but I am working on that

    Is there any rhyme or reason to who got toasted and who didn't?

    Seems that if you had a heap of posts you got saved...

    Well megatron's posts are gone, as are filburts etc.

    Seems like people who have registered in 2000, and have a high post count.
    But I dunno

    No I'm being very polite about it
    He's not welcome as far as I, and a lot of other members are concerned.
