    Hey, I know this has happened before, but I lost around 60 posts, and I was just wondering what's going on.
     
    I think I know why: due to a merging error, the Quick Trade Thread was sent to Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, where posts do count. When the thread was sent back to the Trade Corner, where posts don't count, your postcount (the 56 posts you have there) was resetted back. Sorry for the inconvenience, but it was an error so your count will stay as it is now.
     
    When exactly did this merging error occur Went?
     
    Alright, I may not be understanding this, but there's no possible way I could have posted that many times in any section in 12 hours.
     
    Of course, you made 56 posts in that section during the last months. They were all moved today and they all started counting at once today. The same way, when the thread was moved back, the 56 posts were removed from your postcount in a single move.
     
    From the Quick Trade Thread? I didn't get these posts over the last couple days. About a week ago, I still had about 460 posts.
     
    Obviously, you got the postcount boost today, when the thread was moved, all of a sudden. And it's weird because, looking at your post historial, none of your posts were deleted. And, since the amount of posts that disappeared from your account are the same ones that you had in that thread, it's the most logical explanation in my opinion.
     
    I think I may have some screenshots that will disprove this. I'm just almost positive. Just in case I'm wrong, sorry for arguing about this.
     
    As Went said, it was more than likely the Quick Trade Thread merging error. What do you think the problem is?
     
    I wouldn't know =p. I just am (almost) sure that I had those posts before the error happened.
     
    He's not saying that you made the posts after the error, just that they only got counted after.

    Upon the thread being moved back those posts were discounted again, which is when you noticed it.

    In the end you are no worse off than you were "between 18 and 7 hours ago".

    However, if I've misinterpreted your post you may be on about the same thing as these people in which the Toddler Playground got deleted.

    Also, my posts got deleted... I've posted outside of the Wifi Center and I looked today and they're gone... I had like 10-30 posts I forget how much...

    edit: also, slowpokez and BlueShadow told me that their posts are deleting too...

    Well, according to BlueShadow's full posting historial, only one of his posts was ever deleted, the same with Slowpokez. But I have noticed that all the people who are complaining about losing posts here had posted in the Quick Trade Thread several times :\ I'm almost positive that was the whole problem.
