Missing posts
« on: March 15, 2019, 01:39:59 AM »
I have found 731 of my missing posts asigned to BingColin, who does not seem to exist as a member, and some to guest. Is it possible for an admin/moderator to restore them to me? Also my joining date was around 2006 not 2011?

I'll see what I can do. Lee usually handled this so it will be a learning curve for me.
Thank you...God Bless...

You might ask Jack if he still remembers how to do that.
I never played with that stuff, I just left it up to him and Lee.
SO SAYETH THE RUFUS

If my memory is correct Lee tried to replace Colin's name in those post and he could not do it.  I'll leave to computer geniuses!

Not being one of the above, but ........ !   ;) ;) ;)

Is it possible, as a short term measure, to move all those posts which are identified as Colin's missing ones, into a dedicated, suitably named, "Folder" of some sort?

Just my 2 bob's worth.

I got the impression from Lee that he moved my posts, which may have been marked as 'guest', to BingColin as a temporary measure then was working back through them to restore them to me. He seemed to have got back to 2011 before possible health problems caused him to stop. I know, from his emails to me, that he was also experiencing computer problems. He seemed to have stopped after the first episode of my house build thread.
Thanks to everyone for trying to sort this out😀
