Missing: my history of Topics and posts going back 10 years?

TerryWalstrom

I've noticed a comprehensive revision to this board in reference to the history of Topics and Posts.
There has been a total reboot.

Are my 1700 topics gone forever or is there a repository someplace?

Thanks

Simon

Didn't you post with a different account?

Nothing should be gone, you are maybe just looking in the wrong place.

I just did a quick search and read all 1751 topics for Terry and another 68 from the TerryWalstrom user account.

That makes 1809 topics so you have actually gone over your 1700. Don't worry, all of them are good I just had a scan over.

1809 topics and none of it is 'old light', amazing.

Simon ain't the WT. He don't rewrite history. Thanks man!

Reading this topic a question came to my mind:

Could be possible to change the user name and keep the same account with the old topics?

I am in the dark ages on this, that's the reason for my question.

Simon--

Ahhhhh. . . okaaaay.

When the board changed over to the new format way back when--I couldn't get in, so, I started a new account. That's what happened.

I don't need two accounts (unless I'm schizo) but, if they can't be melded into one--at least I know what's what.

Thanks!

Well, I cheated quite a bit by recycling and editing old topics quite a few times.
There are plenty of them I'd delete for sure.

But, I can see changes in my thinking over the years and how sloppy a writer I was and completely full of offal.

Merging accounts is technically possible but isn't super-simple and a lot of work right now plus only affects a limited number of people.

It's something that's likely going to be almost irreversible so I need to make sure it's completely automated, solid and robust before I can offer it as a feature.

Another thing I've been thinking of as an alternative is to be able to link accounts - i.e. have a "previously known as ..." bit somewhere. This could also be useful if I allow people to change their alias (which is one of the reasons people create new accounts).

Simon, don't bother about it. It's not an inconvenience to me the way it is. I had simply forgotten I'd used two different e-mail addresses to sign in.

Thanks
