Seeing my old posts

[CattalieChan]

I was here in the 2010s and posted quite a bit, and I wanted to be able to go back to my old posts, however my account isn't showing them anymore. I can tell it is tied to this account, as the profile on my old posts has changed to be the same as this profile. However it just shows me as being "Guest CattalieChan" in the group guests and it cannot be clicked on. I tried searching by username but it doesn't seem posts are indexed that way. It kind of is important for me for therapy reasons to try to remember some of it so I hope I can figure it out.

Welcome back, that is good news for us.  Unfortunately a few years back when Laura had to give up the site for medical reasons to Dev and then @Petra Jane, there was a server problem and not all old files and membership information were able to be recovered from the failure. I lost some posts in that crash myself and know the frustration.  I am pulling in @MaryEllenas a resource here,  she does know how to combine old, inactive accounts with new ones. Hopefully she can do something.  In the meantime I would suggest simply going to the topics during the time-frame when you posted the material you are looking for.  The topics are pretty generally the same as when you were here however and if you know the major types, go to the oldest pages and work forward to the time-frames that you remember being here.

Welcome back! I hope they retrieve your old profile. I'm looking forward to reading your posts.

I'm afraid I can't be of much help in this instance. I've looked and tried a couple of possible solutions but didn't have any luck. Perhaps Petra Jane could provide an answer.

Sadly, once someone is set as a Guest it means that the posts are no longer tagged to you/your username and usually means that you have asked that your registration here be cancelled. Once this happens, there is no way that they can be recovered I'm afraid.

 

I was able to find what I believe may be the topic you refer to?

 

Don't know if this helps?

Welcome back @CattalieChan

 

I'm sorry it sounds like most of your old posts are lost.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,

Ah yeah, if it can't get connected that's rough, I was able to search and find some posts. I just wish the search included the person that posted it so I could search for the username.
