Question about "MyPosts"

[zone]

I got back on DU last night about 10 minutes into Shrub's speech and was on until after midnight. I am pretty sure the "my posts" feature was tracking my activity because I was relying on it to keep track of various conversations. Now, when I click on "my posts," I see nothing archived between 9:07 last night and my first post tonight. Any ideas what may have happened?

1. Similar story here, as far as nothing archived in that time frame.

3. Thanks for the reply

Has this happened before? (I'm a newbe.)

2. When DU hits a certain level,

My Posts goes away, as does your record of posts made during that time.

8. Okay

I was thinking it might have something to do with a critical number of expletives with the president's name in the same sentence.

4. Same here.

And I was so "on" last night.

5. the feature was disabled for a while because of traffic

i think any posts during that time weren't marked for 'my posts'

6. well we are at level 5 last night, i think 5 anyways

at a certain point it doesnt track your posts anymore, until the level drops back down

7. It happened earlier in the day too

I think we were at level 6 and NOTHING worked and no posts were saved. I guess as the levels progress extra stuff is minimal.

10. The only thing is...

I thought my posts were tracking during that time; then when I checked tonight they were gone. I could be mistaken.

11. It's surprising to me....

I always thought of My Posts as a dynamic interface to what's in the database, not a database in and of itself, but I guess I must be wrong about how it works... :shrug:
