Just curious, as to why, when I click on my ID, and it shows the posts I have made on these forums, it is only showing what I have posted, in the last couple of days. 

 

When you click on your supposed, 'history' of more posts, there is nothing. 

 

I don't post alot, or often, but I have been posting for some time. 

 

Everyone else I look at, their posts go back for years.  Mine, zippo.

 

Just curious, as to why.

 

Anyone know why?

 

Thank You :)

Answer:

 

Overly aggressive "Autopruning" feature of the new,

(circa August 2011), LiveWorld boards... X-(

 

Posts to threads which receive frequent views are retained,

meanwhile posts to less viewed threads end up deleted :( :_|

 

Have noticed over the past few months,

less viewed but more useful technical-advice threads in

Photos, Photos & HTML, Picture Hosting, Computers, etc,

as recent as April or May 2012 DISAPPEARING,

whereas

more frequently-viewed but less useful threads,

(word games, current-event topics, political diatribes, etc),

continue on, unabated, often containing 100's or 1000's of replies...

 

If not for having ScrapBook extension / add-on installed

in Mozilla Firefox to archive the former, these would be completely lost / gone forever...
