Ace-Garageguy Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Recently I tried google-searching for some of my older builds to illustrate answers to specific questions here. I was curious as to why no results come up when I searched as I've always done. So I went to my content page and scrolled through all my "TOPICS", content back through 2012. Though I haven't done an exhaustive inventory of every build I've posted yet, it seems some of my build threads have simply disappeared. Anybody have any ideas?

1972coronet Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 The entirety of your posts or "only" the photos ?

peteski Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 Maybe something bad happened when they reshuffled tens of thousands of posts after reworking forum's categories? Oops! 1
Dave Ambrose Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 I don't know of any reason for this to happen. How old were the threads?

That I don't know, as I still haven't had time to go through what is there now, and compare carefully with what I'm absolutely certain I've posted here in the past. However, there is content I've posted going as far back as 2012, the year I signed up here. Far as the earlier question regarding photos goes...that's not the issue I'm addressing. I've maintained my paid Photobucket account from the beginning, and all the PB photos remain, as well as photos hosted on this site on the remaining build threads. Certain pasted-in photos from other sites have disappeared, but again, that's to be expected and is not the current issue.
