I guess I better start copying everything I want to keep.

This comment came out wrong. I didn't mean I'm glad you're unhappy too, I meant that I'm glad I'm not alone in wishing it had been done differently, that I'm not overreacting in being bummed about it.

No worries! I understood what you meant.

And I definitely don't think you're overreacting.

I’m not happy because I lost posts about very significant events in my life over the past few years, memories and conversations that I would have liked to have been able to save somewhere else if I had known they were going to disappear.

Thanks for understanding, Sissy. I agree, there was support and encouragement from friends during times of loss and struggle that would have been nice to keep.

I copy my check in main log each week to my computer, but I have searched back many times to read the comments we made to each other in previous years, and I will miss that ability. For example I was able to look back and see what run/walk ratios I used for previous races. From now on, I'll be better about logging info I might care about on my computer.

Me too, Sandy. I was trying to look smthg up and that's when I discovered the subscriptions were gone. Until people started responding on this thread I thought maybe there was a subscription limit unless you were a VF supporter. I didn't realize at first that the threads themselves were gone.

I just feel sad. VF has been a constant and now that was upended this year too. Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful the forum is still here, I just wish it hadn't changed or that we had known it was going to.

I'm not sure if this is helpful information, but I sometimes search for videofitness threads on google and threads come up from 2001 and you can read all the old posts in the old threads. You may be referring to something different though, I'm not sure.

I haven't tried googling yet. It seems like the check in section is what was purged. I'll have to try a search like you mentioned and see. Thanks!

Google used to cache stuff, and I tried to see if that would work for you, but I couldn't get it to.

Thanks for checking, bee. I keep hoping smthg will come up and they'll magically reappear.
