I had only posted 1 thread, which wasn't spam in anyway, wasn't against the rules. was a simple question which was eventually answered and solved.
Any reason for me being deleted?
If you give us your user name of the account that was deleted perhaps we can let you know the reason, also try contacting the Moderator that deleted your account.
Perhaps your thread was part of the data that was lost during the recent upgrade.
Probably the poster above me is right. I just went into your profile and saw nothing. Usually, mods can see deleted threads, but there was nothing in there.
Also only 1 user is registered to this IP , was probably lost in the DB crash a few days ago
As I understand his/her account was deleted, so he/she created another account to ask this question, so we can´t really know what was the previous username or the threads/posts deleted
this was my previous username. "wonderboy1".
and my thread was deleted as well.
That means you did nothing wrong. Since you used same username, that suggests it was just lost in the database failure. Accounts also don't get deleted except in severe circumstances, usually,where you requested the delete.
So welcome, unfortunate inconvenience, try posting your question again and get stuck in
Indeed, accounts posts and threads that disappeared and were originally created on or arround 25th / 26th Sept are atributable to the server problem and the restoration of the day old saved database.
User accounts will need to re-created. Thank you to all those who have been very understanding about this and to the one and only guy who told me to "go to hell" - well I got news for you, I'm already sitting in a big firey chair and my horns are pointing straight at you - welcome to my domain!

I am pretty sure I just reached 10 posts yesterday as I worked hard to accomplish that in order to post something to a dev thread.
Now, I log in, check to see if my question has been responded to and found my all-important-I-need-an-answer-to-this message missing. I then checked the statistics under my username and found 8 messages missing. Were those messages deleted? I received no notification or PM warning me if I have violated any forum rule. What's funny is I got 3 thanks and all those were for 3 of the 8 deleted messages. Did I do something bad? Have I been a bad boy? Am I not gonna get a gift from Santa? Or some technical issues/glitch with the backend of the forum perhaps?
Did anyone experience this?
i've been wondering, my account got deleted without any reasons at all. how come? were any problems occurred on the database? as far as i know i never did anything wrong especially with the rules here in xda..

Yeah, we pruned out accounts which were registered using disposable email addresses.
It seems some legitimate ones were lost. I'd suggest you PM MikeChannon to see if anything can be done about it.
Lesson for anyone searching in future, please don't use disposable email addresses
This is driving me crazy, I have my XDA account "Jerber" (this account) with my avatar and everything; is the account that I use everyday for comment arround XDA sections.
On the other hand I have a Disqus account that I use for comment in diferent websites, It has nothing to do with my XDA account.
And finally (here come the mess), when I go to the main XDA Developers website (to news like this https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g6-camera-app-ported-to-the-lg-g5/) there is a opened profile called "Jerber" with my old avatar ready for do comments and seems that it works like a Disqus account... as you can see I did a coment and it shows that was made with that "Jerber" profile...
If I go inside of that profile ( https://disqus.com/by/xda-9a10d25154dc708d237da4dd6ed0b153/? ) it looks/works like Disqus, but when I want to edit the account it sends me to my Disqus account...
For that reason I am not able to edit the avatar or go inside of that "profile" to try to understand how it works...or at least edit it
Any idea for help me?
The profile is there, opened in the XDA new section, I can use it, logout and login (With XDA login), comment, edit and delete but that is all, if I want to do some changes the profile sends me to other place...
Bumping this oldie. I have the same issue. Disqus is bonded to XDA and there is no way to leave reactions on XDA articles without an XDA account. There is no way of logging in to disqus with an xda profile, it just makes a new account with the same XDA email/google account, thus having 2 seperate accounts with the "same" login information, but different profile urls.
I have to agree. Doing it this way can break notifications completely when the user name is the same for xda as well as disqus
Bumping this thread. Just discovered that in order to comment with my regular Disqus account in the XDA Disqus comment section, I first have to log out of XDA and be logged in to Disqus! This is a pointless complication! Please get rid of it or make it optional XDA.
I've been trying to fix this crap for ages, have gotten nowhere.
Seems that Im going to be stick to that account forever -_-
Same issue here. I created an account on Disqus using my same username for Pocketnow recently acquired by XDA, but the accounts aren't merged. Nor does there seem to be a way to merge them. I tried looking in Disqus' help pages, but there's nothing about merging accounts for common users! It's all about adding Disqus to your site. If no way is found soon, I'm deleting my Disqus account.
It seems to me that the Disqus plugin works separate from the actual Disqus site itself. Weird. While it's good that they're not collecting data that you didn't give them, they should allow a synchronization method.
Same problem here and it's driving me nuts! Just let me have my notifications!
Bump*
here we bump again.
i have pretty much the same problem. when I enter to disqus.com it just jump in my unmanageable profile.
if anybody has the same problem, I hope we can get rid of this.

There is a long explanation for this. When Disqus originally allowed Single Sign On we had a paid plan to allow this. Disqus then switched all of these paid plans to a free plan. We always had issues with it, for example if you update your avatar, there is no way to notify Disqus about the new avatar. Now, Disqus only allows single sign on for their "Enterprise" accounts, which is very expensive. We are sort of stuck in no-mans land, where is it enabled on our account but with no support.
My hope is to eventually integrate portal comments with forum membership. That way, accounts or unified.
Wish I had a better explanation or fix for you!

wow, I didnt expect a so fast reply on this old thread.
is there any way to do anything with these account?
can I make it work? like update the password and so on...
And Disqus auto login on site-generated accounts is broken again.
It's been almost 2 weeks nomatter what I do, delete cookies, relog, anything, I won't get signed in with the automatically generated account from this site.
I hoped this issue would resolve in some days, like it happened in the past, but nope.
EDIT: By going to my email, finding the specific xda code generated and requesting for a password reset, I kicked it back alive. I have no idea what put my account in that limbo state out of nowhere.
Man, Disqus feels like a royal pain...
I'm sick of it. Decided to not change anything and just not bother commenting
Some will say hooray, lol
I just get sick of jumping through hoops for things
Hello,
I'm experiencing a strange kind of technical problem with the xda forum: I'm not regularly receiving the email alerts for all the threads I'm subscribed to (I'm actually subscribed to 164 different threads). This happens since my registration to the forum in 2014.
I strangely receive only some notifications and quite rarely, and they are about only some of the threads I'm subscribed to, this despite the fact that most of these 164 threads subscriptions are set to "Daily" notifications on my settings.
Those notifications seems to be sent to me randomly (I'm suscribed to those threads in the same way that I'm subscribed to the other ones, and I never actively posted on most of those threads).
I've double checked the settings on my user panel, and my e-mail spam filter is totally ok.
Is there by chance a maximum number of email alerts from subscribed threads that an user can receive?
Do you guys have an idea about why this could happen?
Do you think that it would be possible to contact someone of the forum staff in order to ask for technical help?
Thank you in advance!
W.
I've made a change to your account. See if you get any notification emails now?
Thank you for your reply, the_scotsman. Unfortunately nothing changed and auctually I didn't even receice a notification for your answer to this post as well (I've just discovered it by visiting the post manually).
I did a quick search and it appears that other users did experience the same problemin the past/are experiencing it.
Do you have an idea about how we could try to fix this problem? It would be very helpful for me.
Thank you very much again,
W.

Hmmm....that's strange.
I wonder if @MikeChannon has any ideas as to what the problem might be?
I can't see anything wrong with your user account settings. Let's see if he has any suggestions.
This time I just did regularly receive the email notifications about both your reply and the quote, but the system for example completely missed your first reply on the 24th of August, and, as an example, the same did happen with my followed threads that I'm subscribed to (with daily notifications): during the last week I did receive only 2 email notifications instead of 11. These 2 notifications are about threads that the system seems to always notify me about, while I never received any email notification about the other 9 threads that the system skipped this week.
That's indeed very strange. I'm sure that my e-mail box is totally fine, I'm actively participating to many other forums without problems. My spam folder looks also clean.
Any help would be really very appreciated. Thanks again!

Our notifications are sent out via a gmail account and a few days ago we noticed google was rate limiting us. In theory that should only mean a delay but it seems emails don't actually get through at all in some cases. It MAY be related to this.
Please report back if this continues.
Mike
Thank you for your reply Mike.
The thing is that I'm experiencing this problem since the beginning, right after my registration to the forum back in 2014.
At the moment I'm subscribed with daily notification to 169 threads but I'm receiving the email notification for only a few of them (and it has always happened like that). When I connect to my user control panel I can clearly go throught my subscribed threads and spot many threads that have been recently updated without any notification on my email box (actually the main part of them).
I'm pretty sure that my email account is fine but I can't really imagine what could be the problem.
I'm open to any kind suggestion. Being able to fix this problem would really help me.
Thanks again.
W.
I'm sorry to come back writing and (bothering you guys) here, but it looks like that I really can't resolve this issue myself.
Recently I even switched the email account linked to my xda profile to another address hosted by another provider (Hotmail) but nothing has changed: I still don't receive the large part of the email alerts from the threads I'm following.
Since having switched to another e-mail address should have eliminated the possibility of blocks or filters on my (e-mail side) frankly I really don't know what to do now.
Being able to receive updates from the threads I'm following would be incredibly helpful and would surely help me to engage more with the community.
I know that, since this is a free forum (but I would even pay a subscription if it could help with this issue!), I can't demand a prompt resolution to this technical issue. But I'm wondering which could be the reason behind this problem:
could it be possible that my account is still in a kind of "limited" mode?
could it be possible that there's a limit to the number of e-mail alerts that a user can receive (even if, as from my case, this limit would be extremely low, and it also looks like I'm not receiving the alerts with consistency)?
Your account definitely isn't restricted in any way, it looks completely normal. I've triple checked, and checked again.
This might be something that the server admin @bitpushr can perhaps provide some input, as I'm out of ideas. We've checked everything we can from our side.
Thanks again for your assistence @the_scotsman, I trust you and I know that you have already tried everything you could; I'm really grateful for it.
I also know that it could seem a strange problem and I'm sorry for it; at this point I would eventually be even willing to move my account to any other email address for you guys to check.
I'm thinking about other alternative solutions. What if i open a new account, would it be eventually possible to copy all my thread subscriptions (176 subscribed threads) on it?
Thank you very much again
correct solution

Hello, what do you mean with "correct solution"?
My idea was to open a new account and to "migrate" or copy my thread subscriptions to it, but actually no forum moderator or admin did reply to my message to let me know if that was possible....
At the moment unfortunately my issue is still unresolved

Alright, thanks.

Hello there, sorry if I hijack this thread but I got the same problem. In general, it's the opposite problem (spam), but in this case, I don't receive emails from my subscription, despite having "checked" all threads and chose "instant email notification" in me profile settings.
Sorry If I missed a setting.
It worked today. I've got one for a quote and one for an answer to a thread I subscribed.
I don't know if you changed something.
Well I spoke too soon. Again I did not receive an instant email in a thread I subscribed.

I've never found the email notifications to be reliable, Tapatalk is much faster, and reliable.
Sent from my PH-1 using XDA Labs
Too bad, I like email notifications. I think Tapatalk is for mobile users and I browse XDA only from my PC.
I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place. I have tried using the webmaster contact form but the message never goes through and throws up an error message.
When I try to change the email address on the account I am posting this from, I am told that another account is already using that email. I suppose I set up an account some time ago that I never used and I don't even remember what user name I used so I can't use the delete account web form.
Since I can't seem to solve this using the standard web based forms what should I do? Thanks.
Hi,

You should send a PM to MikeChannon with your details, I am sure he will help you privately.
Thanks!
