My account was completely erased

[Antonin]

Hello!

I originally registered on this forum in November 2009 with the user name "Antonin" and have posted a number of times since then. The last time I posted was a couple days ago when I asked questions about changing to the public player in pak192.comic. At that time I got a message saying that my password was found in a data breach, and that I should change my password.

Yesterday I tried to log on to change my password but got the message "user not found." I looked through the forum and did not find any of my old posts.

I have created a new account with the same user name I had before, and a different password.

I am wondering what happened to my old account and all my old posts...

There had been a complete crash of the forum in the past, it is now a static page archive.forum.simutrans.com (although it seems to not work either at this time, but there is the wayback machine https://web.archive.org/web/20170915101339/http://archive.forum.simutrans.com/). Maybe during those your account was lost.

I do see that the account was recently deleted. I will follow up with that person to find out why. My apologies for the inconvenience. :(

I noticed that the January 6th posts have disappeared.

Antonin's posts and threads have disappeared.

I am very sorry, that was apparently my mistake. I was most probably intending to delete a spam account, but surely ended up clicking the wrong user.

I have restored all your posts and all your replies from 2009 onward to this new account of yours.

I will check it twice or thrice from now on, sorry.

If the subdomain is set to frame instead of server redirect, the redirect appears to be blocked.

Another problem is when referring to http from an https site.

This is what I meant elsewhere. http will increasingly cause problems until it is no longer usable.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! I really enjoy Simutrans and I have enjoyed being a friendly and sometimes active member of this friendly community since 2009.

When I created the new account the other day I chose a new password. Should I change my password again now, just to be more safe?

There is no need for that. I have only restored your posts. The rest of your account is as good as new.

I love a happy ending!
