Also thanks @Toastie! For me it shall never be about "nothing to hide" as this may be used by some parties to claim others may have to hide things - for me it is always principles of privacy which need to be respected as the bottom line towards any individual. There shall theoretically never be any need for one to explain against (and for) it.

Thanks already for volunteering @idlemarvel. Nothing to do from your side - I just want to have some preemptive agreement for any user to secure as much privacy and data security for all of us - even against the vendor in troubleshooting reasons. For myself I consider this thr baseline of my job / profession of allowing as much service to every user, like I would fight for my own rights. Be always be assured of that please.

Little update on the topic: With the help of @MKJoshA & the other examples here we think we have somehow narrowed it down already, from @MKJoshAs observation only posts from beginning 2016 onwards are not showing for his account. It has been mentioned before by @Black Falcon via another post from another user quoted. @JLiu15 one of your observations has been mentioned, I did not find the original of yours within your thread - I would like you and the other people affectedf to help checking if your accounts are showing 2025 entries still, but none since beginning of 2026 - that would be helpful for having more than one account with this symptoms. I am planning to create a ticket at the vendors support site the next days, as we have now enough similarities to show them our issues. Other question I may have already.. As I am personally a big fan of data privacy and bein transparent before any action takes place: The vendor may ask for access to our systems for their investigations, if needed. If someone can think of their support (again, at worst if needed) login in with some user accounts to check the symptoms and possible other details "from the user perspective". If anybody can think of allowing this for his account, some written reply here in the thread would be nice for having more than one singular opportunity (@MKJoshAs profile, as he volunteered here already - role model as always, thanks in advance already ). Hopefully they may tell a simple fix like "may it be you are just stupid, as you have overlooked that one place in the configs which does the trick?!" -> Would be the solution I prefer as no big fixes would be needed. I will give another update the next days.

Yepp, still I am still shocked by the amount of text which was fitting the topic.

Wow, is that now an accurate description of our issue or just AI-Spam because of the mixed in "construction takeoff" link?! I seriously am confused...

Ok then I am glad, sorry for asking so specifically - did not recieve it wrong, I just want to stay always curious for other opinions. So excuse me if my questions sounded weird.

Yay I understood that part - still for me it creates the impression there may have been more possible to not give similar impressions - as this is clearly not my goal.

@Lipko not sure if I understood you correct. I am open for any opinion, so I would like to ask & possibly give you my answers already: Did you got the impression we would stop there and not further put efforts into the topic? I would like to answer that that is not the case. In the other topic for thr case I mentioned I created a support case for the vendor to help us out, please be assured I am not happy with the situation right now & after my regular work I will activly work on here. I am sorry if thr announcement was possibly not allowing to understand thst the issue is considered serious & urgent as well. As said I am open for any advises for what would have helped, for doing better in the future. Please don't hesitate to speak freely if something did bug you - your opinion is considered always valid and worth to be heard. Best regards

In the meanwhile I created a topic for more users being able to see it in the generic forums + have linked my announcement to point to the topic: I will give further updates on the matter in that other topic. So @bruh you may have to wait for another day until it may get fixed. As written, I will give updates in the other topic. Be sure this issue is bugging me with priority!

As stated before, I have created a request at the forum vendor, as I am not sure if "just reverting the configuration" may not do more harm. I am not sure how fastly they may be able to react, nor if I could fetch their answer directly. At worst I may just be able to continue to work on the topic by tomorrow evening German time.

In Germany we have something like "where people are working, chips may be expected to fall down" or s.th. like that - may come from times where more physical work was needed.. So I am fine with that - I personally just like to be transparent for what happened, I reckon

My next update: The issue came from a configuration change I made yesterday. After the change it was ok till a certain point. Found some part of the issue - seems my configuration change created some folders with wrong file permissions in the filesystem. I got this solved Next, still remaining issue is: Contents are missing in the directory. I need to find out if a revert of the configuration will have positive - or even worse effects. As I believe the process may have stopped somewhere inbetween and now the files are in two different locations. (With my luck trying out the easy config revert may bring more harm, I reckon... :D). So I need to consider if I really would like to do this, or if I would be better with getting in touch with the vendor for them possibly checking and solving in the best ways - but that may take more time, at worst "some days" - also not really happy with that solution. I will give myself 1-2 hours to further check on my side - I think I tend to trying out the revert, as the process should have worked in the 1st place. From mz understanding it may work. At worst we have daily full backups of Sunday morning, before I changed the option. (I can forsee thrown bottles from the community already for that being the least wished option to take... bare with me please, this is only last resort, but have them I wanted to point out here..) btw @Toastie here we are again, "self-inflicted damage" - I had just the best intentions to improve the configuration - but reality did have other plans.

Ended my regular work, will start to take a look into the issue now - will give updates here asap.

I changed configurations yesterday already. Should have had no effect at all - but as we now see / "not see" that may have not been the case. I am working again since today, so I may just be able to take looks in the evening. But chances are 99% the currently not shown images are coming from my change.

Yepp it is! Cheerio for Wall of History - they themself have only the old blog entry of taking over shown. Their reopened registration was shared via some social media (fb it may have been, not sure where I found that after @SpacePolice89 pointed that detail out). Also 5€ less monthly for me not needing to keep the 5TB mirrored images from back then..
