It looks like a lot of Norman's posts disappeared. There are quite a few threads that without those now are incomplete.
Do you think the information could be restored?
Edit: As Dave said, it looks like everything he posted on the last 4 weeks is gone.
It does seem that anything Norman posted in the last month has vanished..
according to Forum activity his last post was on Nov 14..... and I know for a fact he has posted quite a bit since
@Dave S and I know for a fact he has posted quite a bit since
he writes a lot on the forums. I bet there was some form of backend issue and has undone a lot of his posts. this is PURE GUESS on my part.
Norman helps a lot on the forum. I hope it's a technical problem and not a personal problem.
They have been pruning their posts and messaging on the forums as of late so I am not surprised.
Would be nice if someone from Xojo could comment.
@Greg OLone @Dana B @Geoff P to name a few.
For example it used to be that when they deleted a post you would see a visual indication of it as well as who did it. Often Dana would chime in and say they removed it because of XYZ forum rule.
Lately I have noticed they have simply removed the posts from the database or deleted them in a way that does not leave any evidence it ever existed.
Not conspiracy thinking or an elaborate plot device. Just an observation on how they engage/manage the forums has changed.
Dad (in this king of situations) usuallly said “it smell bad”. (with German accent) :(
Addition:
Norman entries here at Recent Changes are still present with an entry dated as of today.
Maybe his post counter wasn't 64-bit ;-)
@Dave S That is the WIKI, not this forum
Doh !
@Mattias Söm Maybe his post counter wasn't 64-bit ;-)
My thought too - his post count clocked over 32,767.
He was only at 19325.
It seems that Norman's posts reappeared.
Oh the suspense! What happened? Will it happen again?
Its so quiet, now I know what my dog feels like when I leave the house :( Sorry doggo!
I hope Norman is ok.
#FreeNorman (too soon?) :)
@Julian S #FreeNorman (too soon?) :)
never too soon to free Norm!
We all love Norm.
A mistake resulted in some of Norman’s posts being deleted- those posts have since been restored.
But he didn't write any post since :/ .
@Thomas R But he didn't write any post since :/ .
It made me wonder if someone offended him... more than once he has come close to stopping to post...
BTW when I looked at his profile last night, it was essentially blank.. even the link to his own website (Great White) is gone...
