my profile seems to of reset, losing all my old messages and posts!
why is this?

I had to re register as well the other year but all my posts reappeared, I cant think of a reason why :-\

Not sure I'm afraid - in the past we have culled users who haven't logged in for a very long time, e.g. 6 months or a year.  We've stopped this now as it does occasionally cause these issues.

If that has happened then it's unlikely your old posts have actually been deleted but will have been set back to "guest" status.

Can you link to any of your old posts? It's possible we can link them back to your current profile.

Here is one to confirm http://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?topic=9829.msg128746#msg128746 theres plenty of others lingering about

shows I am guest user

Ok, I'll get this sorted out this evening...

Sorry, no time tonight but it'll be sorted soon I promise!

Well I've sorted this but it turns out you'd only made 2 posts anyway!
