Same for me re. the posts count, Laurence and I lost 40 posts in the change to the new forum too. I know this because I was fast approaching the 1000 post milestone and had only 5 more posts to go. So from having 995 posts I dropped to 955 and have now been “stuck” on 961 for the last 2 weeks or more. Frustrating but a minor complaint I suppose compared to all the other problems with the current forum.

I do fear they are hoping we will stop complaining and just accept our lot eventually.

Hello again. Laurence. Glad you spotted my reply! The quote function was giving me all sorts of grief last night (so I’m not trying it this time) and, as you say, there is no notification of a reply to subscribed posts either.

When I searched your name the first few pages of results were indeed Lawrence of Arabia in the main but after page 6 more of your old posts appear. It’s far from an easy way to search them and nothing like what we had previously. It’s very random – neither in chronological or alphabetical order and with other people’s posts in between but it’s the only way I’ve found of accessing any of our old stuff. It’s ridiculous!

This is what I get and you can then click on the title to take you to the old thread – I see we’ve lost Preview now too so hopefully the attachment is attached!

That’s a pity, Lyffe. I’d like to say it’s strange how it works for one person but not another but I think there’s a few things like that on the forum at present!

I find I can access my old threads and others I’ve contributed to by searching my user name. Worth a try when you’re signed in, Laurence. It doesn’t seem to work otherwise.

And according to Marine.gov.scot the cause was unknown and two soldier passengers were killed with him. Date here given as 26th June 1942.

Please could they fix it by migrating everything else back to join it? Please 🙂
