Anyone else have their points/post count reset?

I just went from ~250 or something to 4.  And I lost like 80 points!

How the heck am I supposed to get my second meatball?!

I was #3 top contributor in the Illy forum but was replaced with some cyborg version of me "JesseHam Jah5zl"

Anyone else having this happen?  Is it because I made fun of the point system too many times?  Is the admin getting pissed?

    Same login as always today, though I'm pretty sure I had to type my email address in and recheck "remember me" (though I'm not sure if I'm remembering doing that after my initial login this morning - when I was trying to fix the problem by signing all the way out)

    A post from yesterday: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/425115?tstart=0

    Also, my old posts are linked from my "old" account: http://forums.adobe.com/people/Jesseham-JAh5zI

    Thanks for looking into this!

    [edit - I should add that the "JAh5zl" part was tacked on as part of this - that was not part of my username yesterday. Thanks!]


    That helps a lot. I have seen this before and Jive is currently testing a fix for this on our development site. Once that goes through QA it should be rolled out to here and that should fix it for you and part of the fix will be combining everything into the original account again.

    There should be a wall of honor posted just before we log in so we can pay homage to those who have paid the price and lost their log in. Members need to be reminded daily that this log in bug could effect the rest of us someday. We, the un-effected, should feel humbled towards the sacrifice of our troubled fellow posters. Now, a moment of silence please............................... thankyou. You may be seated.

    Stupid youtube is stupid blocked at my stupid work.  (just kidding - i love it here. )  I'm waiting for the day they catch on to this forum and block it too though.

    Just to get this straight, after the forum upgrade and the initial switchover, people have had their post count and points reset?  This happened to me last night, not 4/1 or whenever the upgrade took place...  Kinda makes the points and post count even more useless if you have no way to know if the rating of the person helping you is a week old or 5 years old, eh?

    Good responses, thanks for the laughs.

    I'm also wondering if JiveWorld resides in the Quantum Mechanics realm, where normal logic is no longer applicable. 

    The Jive uncertainty principle: what this forum software will do cannot be known.


    everything in the quantum world is logical. we just don't know all the rules yet.
