I thought this would bring up any threads to which I have EVER contributed AND that have had a post in the last 24 hours (or whatever time limit I click on).

However, there is a thread in the Watch forum on which I contributed about 2 years ago that has now come back to life, but it doesn't appear in my Contributions.

Expected? A bug? Picking on me?

Sorry for the slow response...

There isn't a time limit to the threads, they should always pop up if you have contributed on them.

The only time they wouldn't is if you have specifically chosen to ignore the topic. Which thread is it, and I will have a look if something has been ticked in the database to ignore it?

Wasn't there an issue (possibly with a server) fairly recently that effectively meant old contributions were forgotten?

Nope, they are stored in the database and we didn't have an issue with that.

I had similar problems and was told that a load of stuff got deleted from the database http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Oh that deletion... biggrin

That was a performance issue that we needed to address, I will have a look at the date we did that to.
