ALL OMNI posts now removed from post count

Not sure if this has made its way into any other threads on this board, but I have just noticed that all OMNI (and OMNI P/R) posts have now been removed from my post count.

Is this intentional? Planned? Did we have warning?

Cheers

As per the above, I have no idea what the brains at Internet Brands are doing with the server and the system to make several technical things inconvenient for you.

Here's what I would propose -- you along with me wait until we get an all clear sign from them and then we'll see if things haven't returned to normal. Worrying about every little thing as they attempt to repair their own caused damage to FlyerTalk is going to send us all to early graves.

So, exhale slowly -- envision positive things, inhale slowly, hold those positive thoughts ...

Believe me, Randy. You are not alone on this one.

May I ask how long do we have to hold those positive thoughts?

Oh, that's easy. Until your smiling uplifted face has a splat of white on it rained down from the heavens.

And guys, I am more disgusted with this continued situation than any of you.

What are you says something to us, Randy? Are you willing try to get fixed the post count back to normal routine. I believe it was Internet problems in COS. So please let me know if you can do something for everyone. Thanks for your advice.

The advice is the same posted elsewhere ... this is a tech issue directly responsible by Internet Brands. COS is not involved as we haven't hosted or been involved in the tech issue of IF for a few years now.

This is not a post count issue. It's an issue relater to some other tech issues from Internet Brands and as the main issue is fixed, I'm sure that all the other issues will be addressed as well. So please, you don't need to keep gassing up the black helicopters and indeed, you'll see a growing anxiety from me over this issue as Internet Brands seems to to be working toward really, really pissing me off. (sorry for the language but this is my forum and on occasion I can't control myself. My apologies to those who expect more from me, even in times like this.)

Ok. Thanks for your efforts about problems. Where they need to be patience for awhile until the servers will be fixed sometime tonight or all day long. So if you ever talk like this way about my post count. So please forgiven me that I didn't see it this morning but, I woke up around 10:30am and I went to sleep around 2am this early morning. So however, I will try wait to see if tech supports need to get fixing soon as possible.

Well, that will teach us to complain, won't it?

Or, alternatively, maybe that's why they think we've stopped posting?

Good evening, Randy.

My last post was April 8th in the Chicago forum. However, when I logged in a few minutes ago, I see this:

Welcome, LadyPhoenix.
You last visited: Jan 3, 09 at 6:08 pm

Am I doing something wrong??

Yes, you are late for the party.

If you had visited Technical Issues Forum and read some sample threads, you'll know what's been going on since 4/8/09.

Or Randy even had expressed his unhappy mood here & here.
