Wow! So we lost all we had built over the years from the old forum? I was one of the early adopters of these forums with a lot of posts over the years and now it shows I’m a ‘newbie’ with 0 posts, 0 reputation, etc..

Ouch!!! That really sucks. You would think they would at least import that info from the old boards to avoid losing the long-time people.

Most, if not all of them are still there; however, it is not easy to find them (because they aren’t date sorted).  Do a search for threads under your username and you will see a list of your old posts.

It’s mostly an annoyance to be branded a ‘junior member’ and have it only show a couple of posts in the statistics banner next to my name when I’ve been on this board over 15 years with thousands of posts trying to help others out or reach out for help with questions when needed.

[quote]Hi there, thanks for these instructions.

I’m a new member of the forum.  I tried to sign up for the Home Feed as well, but it wouldn’t let me.  It says Registration Closed.

I’ve been on a forum before, so I can generally figure this stuff out, but I’m not the most tech savvy guy so maybe I’m missing something.

Welcome to the site unwinder, I can help you with any questions you have about the site.

"Hi Kent, Have you had any success with the "search for threads under your username"? I’ve tried it and it sort of works, but it finds everything with your username in it (posts, replies, etc) and then it only displays a single page. Are you seeing the same thing? Good news is I was able to find my first post by remembering a distict phrase I put in it.

Thanks, Pisco"

I am seeing a lengthy list of pages when I search for my username.
