logged in fine, made an art post about 13 ish to post, when i was done organizing the post, i submitted it.

now my thread is inaccessible! like it doesnt exist. i get the following message "Invalid User specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" which i did but the email keeps failing to send.

I have the same problem as codybunt above, I submitted a post on the 17th December and got logged out of the forum and have not been able to get back in. My old username 'surpher' is available for registration so I guess my account has been deleted, I know all my post are gone.

I would appreciate if my account could be restored or failing that if this account could be renamed to my old username.

My old userid is 99104 if that helps.

regards
surpher

i know this is ridiculous!

We just have to be patient, they seem to have bigger problems with the site at the moment. It would be nice if one of the moderators or admins could at least acknowledge our problem, and tell us it will be looked at.

I have read it, but I don't have access to help you. And, yes, you're right, we do have bigger problems. I've checked and neither account seems to exist. It may be you posted just as an upgrade went in. I'd nag someone, but I don't want to do that until everything is sorted just in case. Sorry guys.

Thank you Black Spot, I have had some experience of restoring a deleted account on a phpbb2 forum, it involved changing old and new userid's around in the database, so its something an admin will have to do.

Here is the url's to mine and Cody's old profile links, they contain our old userid's.

I've done some googling and found out that my old post should still be visible on the forums under the username of 'Guest'. They are not so I'm going to accept my old account and posts are gone for good and request a name change which I will do in the proper thread.

Request to someone who might be able help gone out.

It's entirely possible the accounts have been deleted or vandalized. I do not have the power to restore deleted accounts. So if they no longer exist - or they are not there anymore - there's really nothing I can do. Since "Guest" can be a number of posts deleted from multiple accounts, I also cannot restore accounts deleted to "guest"
