Lost my posts!

I haven't been around this site for a while, and now I see that my 300-plus posts from a couple of years ago have now fallen to a handful (4 when I last looked). This makes me look very inactive!! Can this be rectified?

    MSE only remove abusive posts, so assuming you had 300 odd posts and now only have a handful can only mean you are a rather abusive poster :p

    The loss of posts stems back to a lot longer than a couple of years and I'm afraid you're too late to get them back now.

    ETA, the above thread was in fact before the OP's time but the principle is the same in that user's posts have been lost when the forums have been upgraded on a few occasions.
  • Ho hum, looks like I'll have to get used to being a newbie again for a while. I lost all my thanks, too! :-(
