    None whatsoever that I want to speculate on I would prefer folks give Greg a chance to review the issues and please be patient

      The exact same thing has happened to me (this is a new account i registered under the exact same name)

      It's oddly reassuring to know i'm not the only one it happened to

      I'm patiently awaiting an answer (i'm guessing it has to do with the new server)

      If the old accounts are not recoverable, would it be possible to adjust post count or rep back to what it was before? (Privileges you know!)

      As long as i know the problem is being looked at, i'm content to wait for now.

        we had a bit of a server 'meltdown' last night. Greg knows about it and is working on things. He'll fix all he can, but there may be some stuff that's just plain lost.

        We'll have to wait and see how it shakes out

          I'll create a folder for older eps of SGU in the next few weeks. I do usually wait till the mid-season break, but the seven- or eight-episode mark would be fine.

              We would ask that the members affected PM Skydiver or tamefarrar and we will see if we can't help you still

              Susie please try PMing the IMG tags for the avatar to Sky or myself

                There is only so much we can fix. VB isn't big on individual editabilty of accounts

                The offer to help fix those caught in the server crash, it does only apply to long time members. Newbies that joined last week, for example, well you'll just have to start over and 'them's the breaks'

                  Out of curiosity, doesn't GW create regular back-ups of the database? If that's the case, can't Greg load a back-up onto a different server (even his own localhost would do), dump the info of the affected members, then insert the dump into the GW member database and run the post count rebuild script?

                      Another question for Greg: If the dump isn't possible, shouldn't it be possible to set the id_field of the new accounts of the old members to the value of the id_field their original account had?

                            its the SQL and its Greg's domain so we let him handle the questions

                              Didn't go over my head

                              That's why i'm not too worried. the post count should be modifiable by the administrator (Greg i'm assuming) and if the old backups are still in place, a dump should be possible.

                              Just the fact that all my old posts are still there, just under a "guest" account leads me to believe that just the account information has been lost. VB is just doing the best it can with the lack of data it has (i.e. It sees that i've posted, but it doesn't find my account info, so it automatically deduces that it must be a "guest" post.)

                              Sigh... and there i was patiently awaiting the chance to add a custom avatar Guess it doesn't really matter, but it's kinda hard to PM Sky or Greg when i dont' have that privilege anymore
