Up until the new update I was a gold member, when I checked my AN account this morning I was an apprentice member (3/14). So I used my email address and I got the right user name and I clicked on the lost password to get a new password. That done I proceeded to log in and I'm still an apprentice member. So I clicked on follow managed content and I've lost all the previous posts there except for ones I did today.

I click on your profile > posts.

https://aseannow.com/profile/6822-mason-45/content/?type=forums_topic_post&change_section=1

And these are the first 3 you made.

Your profile says you have made 26 posts, I can see they are all there.

But I was a gold member and made well 1,000 posts, where have they gone to?

@mason 45 to prevent these kinds of deletions, please bookmark those pages in your browser from now on, as that will not be depended on forum software upgrades

Why didn't you say that before? You should contact support and ask why your 1000 posts have been deleted because from your profile there are only 27 posts visible.

Do you by any chance use any other account then this one?

I've tried 2 different email addresses with basically the same results.

perhaps you had a 3rd email address under which those missing posts are counted ???

Thanks @Ralf001 for checking as I don't use that function

It becomes stranger every minute. Sorry to say

👍 good one @Ralf001

It seems that Mason45 and Mason 45 are owned by the same person, duplicate accounts are NOT permitted as I am sure you know.

You will now lose ability to post with the lower of the two

This isn't a sleeper account, the reason I used it more in 2025 was the fact the as I'm now 80 yo I'm not as mobile as I used to be. So I have a lot more free time to be in Asean Now. My main issue is that I've gone from being a gold member to an apprentice member, so I've lost all my previously stored data. Some I referenced for medical issues.

May I ask for some leniency please @CharlieH ? He is 80 so let it be just in case he has other problems with his account?

Not quite sure leniency applies as no penalty has been issued, a simple restriction on the second disallowed account..

I understand but he clearly is confused which account to use, so the leniency would apply that he could still post on his 27ish post account in case of problems

No changes to my ranking shown on my profile since the "update", still "Star Member 12/14".

I'm guessing that there must be a reason for some members' rankings being changed.

Also I would prefer black or a much darker grey text on a white background.

Light grey on white seems to have become a fashion and I stopped reading many news sites because of this.

I've tried the black background but can't get used to it.

The grey text is probably to use less storage space, fewer bits and bytes in light colors than there are in dark colors.

On the phone, it's near impossible to hit the dot next to a thread title to only view the unread replies. Works fine on the PC.
Same with the arrow to move to the top, works fine on the PC, nothing on the phone.

Are you sure about that? I always thought that one standard character equals one byte and that one byte equals eight bits, regardless of the colour.

Posting images seems to be an issue, error code 200, anyone got around that?

Overall I find the upgrade perkier and faster but visually I find it a mess vs what we had before.

As mentioned in another thread, can no longer post images.

There's two choices:

Image - only allows you to attach clip art

File - only allows you to choose from previously posted images
