Lost all my posts...

[Sidewayz]

When i went to log in this morning I couldn't, so i had to go through the process of resetting my password and so on. When i reset my password and logged in i lost all of my 200+ posts and private messages, etc. Is there a reason for this and can it be fixed? I currently have my boat for sale under the thread "18ft plate centre console" so it was strange when i couldn't post replies...

Cheers

David

[Sportsfish_5.5]

Me too Dave

You are not alone

[alleycat]

You reckon your lost?? everything seems to be from the harvery bay region and im from brisbane, all the local posts have gone for me as well?>

[Sidewayz]

Can admin tell me why i have lost all my posts as described in the post above?

[Sidewayz]

Furthermore, you can tell by my join date in August 2004 that i have been a member for some time now so being a 'new member' does not make much sense...

Cheers

[Ausfish]

The main reason you end up with a zero post count is usually due to you having a different display name compared to your Membername in the old system. When the import was done it used the display name to setup your new profile. Then of course there were no posts associated with it. The old membername will show up as imported_memebrname.

The other reason can be due to an E-mail address conflict.

Dave, have imported your old post count and profile over into your current Membername. Have also sent you a PM.

System shows you as having 7 posts on the new system and 0 posts on the old system - http://www.ausfish.com.au/forum/YaBB.pl?action=viewprofile;username=blufish

Did you have a different Membername to your displayed name, or vise versa, on the old system?

If so what was it?

[kingtin]

Hi Steve,

mate, could you please change my post count and perhaps amend my profile name at the old site as it is showing my log in name instead of my profile, kingtin.

My profile name, as it is now showing at the old site, was a user name elsewhere and also an email addy, which is now being bombarded with spam and I am now having to use it as a spam trap.

http://www.ausfish.com.au/forum/YaBB.pl?action=viewprofile;username=bidkev

cheers

[Ausfish]

Post count updated.

Sorry but the second part of your post doesn't make any sense to me. Your profile on the old boards has nothing to do with any spam you may be receiving.

[kingtin]

Post count updated.

Thanks for updating the post count.

I'll try and explain the other issue :D

kingtin was my profile..............bidkev was the name I used to log in.........it wasn't public until the site changed. When I joined Ausfish, I used it because it was an easily remembered, abbrev of our two Christian names, I used "bidkev" for logging in............it was hidden from all, other than ausfish admin. In the past it had also been used as an email addy but unfortunately it had been trawled from certain newsgroups to be used for spamming so became a dead letterbox (spam trap) IOW I used the bidkev addy in some public forums so that any responses would first go to the spam trap. That was quite a few years ago but "bidkev" has now become active again because the word is no longer hidden.

The name "bidkev" is now public.................anyone who wished to google "bidkev" may come up with posts at chat rooms which may or may not be mine, but the word "bidkev" is quite active and is also taken by other persons such as someone at ebay (I can't log on under that name) and some other sites who also have users using the name "bidkev"

I wouldn't like to be mistaken for one of them which is why I use kingtin and not bidkev in public.

Hope you understand where I am coming from here and that I have explained myself clearly. A logging in name has now become public , since the site changeover, by being shown as a profile name at the old site.

[Ausfish]

The way the profile is shown on the old chat boards is the way it has been shown since it was installed. Can't change that.

[kingtin]

I'm not with you Steve? It has been changed.

My profile was kingtin from joining. Since the change, the site is showing my profile and old posts as bidkev. That was not my profile but my logging on name. See here and you will notice a post from me, as kingtin, is now showing the poster as bidkev when it was in fact, kingtin.

[mod5]

Your profile on the old board was always bidkev. Have a look at http://www.ausfish.com.au/forum/YaBB.pl?action=viewprofile;username=bidkev

[kingcobe]

Your profile on the old board was always bidkev. Have a look at http://www.ausfish.com.au/forum/YaBB.pl?action=viewprofile;username=bidkev


We're getting bogged down here. Forget about the profile for a minute and I'll try again.

I have always been know as "kingtin" since joining and "kingtin" was always shown as being the poster, when I posted.

When I logged in, I logged in as "bidkev" but bidkev now shows as the poster on my old posts, when in fact those posts were posted by kingtin.

"bidkev" was never shown on my posts and was used purely by me, for logging on. I have absolutely no idea how "bidkev" became "public" but the point I'm making is that my old posts are attributed to a person that no one recognises as 'bidkev' had previously only been used by me to log on and not as a public username.

The other point is that anyone who recognises my old posts as being from 'kingtin" may wonder why it is now showing "bidkev" and they could put two and two together and surmise that 'bidkev" may well be "kingtin's" logging in name. OK, they don't know my password and there is no security breach, but as I say, I have encountered other "bidkevs" on the net and I wouldn't want it assumed that I am they, unless I so wish.

Sorry, but the lad hadn't logged off.

[Ausfish]

It can't be changed.

[Reel Nauti]

Hi Steve

I've lost mine as well it seems. I have always been 'Reel Nauti' and I still am but my post count is showing only two figures.

Cheers

Dave

[Ausfish]

No such membername on the old system as Reel Nauti.

As stated in this thread, I need your original Membername not your displayed name. The info/link that I need is explained in this thread. If you can give me that info I can get it sorted for you.

[Reel Nauti]

Ok thanks Steve

I think my membername is Dave_Sue_FishosTwo.

I'm not exactly sure of the puctuation of it, but the names are definitely as described above.

Cheers and thanks

Dave

[Ausfish]

Yep found it. It has been adjusted.

Thanks

Thank you Steve.
My profile now shows original joining date and a higher post count, but old posts still show Figjamm as the author. Can the username on old posts be changed?
I was hoping the "White ants in the Playpen" thread would belong to ColacGirl again. Is there a way to make that possible?
Thanks,

[Hardb8]

Hi Steve,
Was hoping ya could have a quick look into my post count?My previous name I logged onto the old board with was spelled :- hardb8

I still log onto the current board with this same spelling (small h)

The only difference is,It now appears after I'm in with a capital H and is :- Hardb8 My e-mail address is the same.Think my count would be around 500+ by now with combined numbers.

Just checked the old count.It was at 371 before the switch.


Thanks for your time.

[Slime]

Hi Steve. I was a bronze member before the board was changed over and have lost my previous posts. My initial name was Slymo, but I changed it as it was similar to another members. I would appreciate it if you can sort it out. I hope it is not too late – thanks!
