Some of my old posts gone? Why?

[Ct. Ken V]

Hi, all,

I was just searching through some of my old posts for something I was looking for again. I supposedly have made 182 of them (listed on 8 pages according to my statistics pages), but I can only view or link to 125 of them on the first 5 pages. Pages 6, 7, & 8 give me a "V" bulletin saying something like : no results found, please try another search method (or something like that). Where did those missing posts go? Did they get lost when this site format/server changed just recently, or did we have another hacker get in here & destroy some info/data? Just wondering if anybody knows any reason why they are gone (or of another way to recover or view the remaining 57 posts I want to see again). Any ideas or solutions?

Edit : Well, I had been trying to get to the missing ones for about 20 minutes & wasn't having any luck, but I just made this post & decided to go back & get the correct wording of the "V" message I got when my attempts failed & low and behold the missing posts are now there for me to view again. I would rather delete this post altogether now, but the "edit/delete" icon only seems to want me to be able to edit (unless I just use the backspace key to erase everything I typed---but I don't know if that will just leave an empty post to confuse people). So feel free to tell me how to delete my post or one of the moderators can just delete the post/thread for me. Sorry for apparently jumping the gun, but I hadn't had any luck for the 20 minutes or so, so I just thought I'd ask for somebody else's advice, but now all seems well again. Thanks for your patience.

Tony has to eat a certain number of posts every day to survive, just like a vampire sucking blood.

Ken,

FYI, I can access all posts listed on your 8 page list of posts, including your very first one:

All I wanted to say is that I had this same problem (lock'g & unlock'g continuously) during the wash'g/rinsing of my car the first 2 times. I too was afraid that it might hurt something or wear things out prematurely. After that, my solution was to simply shut off the SKS (with the switch under & to the left of the steer'g column) before wash'g & turn'g it back on when finished wash'g. Problem solved!

They must have been moved to "The Most Boring Thread"...

Ken,
I would delete this thread for you but I'm afraid that some day in the future you might start a thread asking why you can see all but one of your posts.

And Tom was right. When I saw your post, I quickly regurgitated all your missing posts. I'll tell you what, they went down a lot easier than they came back up!

In a former incarnation, PriusChat would allow you to delete a post, Made for some odd threads, when someone went back and deleted all their posts from a long and quarrelsome thread.

Now, PC does not let you delete a post. You can edit it down to one character (you cannot post a zero-character thread). Some folks will leave a dot, or the word "deleted" as the only text in a post they want to delete. You can also choose to not show your sig, if you use one.

Note that if you now delete your message, people will wonder what I'm talking about.
