Exclamation Your Build Thread May Be Lost or Damaged

Recently, my build thread became badly damaged. Many posts are missing and some are combined with no particular rhyme or reason. I contacted the site administrator who said the only thing that I can do is try to recreate the thread.

The build thread contained hundreds of posts, pictures and contributions by others. Even if I did try to cut and paste it back together and re-upload all of the pictures, it would still just be a snapshot of what it once was and most certainly a cluster.

A word of caution to all who are putting in lots of extra hours photographing and documenting your build thread to share with LS1Tech.com community that your efforts can and may be lost. While it is always a worthwhile pursuit to contribute to our community, just be aware that this can happen.

I've been noticing that it's also had issues with finding my own posts. I have clicked on my name to find my posts and for sale adds and it doesn't show the more recent posts and so on.
