Don't Panic! Nothing is Deleted.

looks like the conversations isn't listed by last comment timestamp anymore (or maybe system time wasn't properly reset)

If I'm not mistaken, I think some of the "Dear Amber" podcasts (latest ones in November) are gone.

Goulniky is correct. The comments are by creation instead of modification date.

I found my Grammar Point collection on the bottom of page 7 in "my Conversations".

I hope that's only temporary.

looks like the lesson conversations are properly listed, or is it something to do with system time (CPod) vs browser time (user)?

My podcast feed shows all of the episodes as having the date 01/01/1970 so iTunes is now wanting to download duplicates of everything in my feed because of the date being different from the ones I have already downloaded.

Oh, the joys of web development. :-)

seems particularly painful here...

checking lessons again, issue seems to be timestamp missing on user comments (and other non-lesson comments). See above, there's a date but no time, unlike lessons comments that have both. Something was cleared during the overnight 'scheduled maintenance'

They should still be there now. Click on "more" at the bottom of the Conversations main page.

My 'Bio' has reverted back to how it was a day before yesterday and my nice little happy green wormy thing has gone missing (avatar)

The comments older than approximately 6 months have been deleted everywhere that I have looked. As one who is working through the lessons from the beginning, I can testify that the deleted comments are a valuable part of ChinesePod. Much of what I am learning is only contained there, rather than in the lessons proper.

jwosmum, it does say on the blog that The migration of all the Conversations in ChinesePod’s Conversation section will not be complete when ChinesePod goes back online, but don’t panic! They’re all coming back.

Recent QingWen and Ask Amber podcast have disappeared, as have all the "Extra" conversations

I am sorry to be negative, but Chinesepod's record on upgrades is not good. I have been working in IT for many years, and it would appear that Chinesepod has never heard of regression testing, nor does Chinesepod have any one method of communicating issues and status to its subscribers.

I'm sure there's been very long night at ChinesePod and user pressure isn't helping, but I have to say this has to be more than just an 'upgrade', and both communications and functional impact seem to have been vastly understimated.

Most of the issues raised above have already been taken care of. Still working on old comments. Yes, upgrades are not exactly ChinesePod's strongsuit. We're sorry for all the trouble! We're working like crazy to get everything working again.

Not a big issue but I noticed that if I select My Conversations from the drop down list I see a correct list, but for all items: Last By is always me and the number of comments (#) is for nearly all (but not all) set to 1, both of which are incorrect...unless # is for the number of comments that I have personally made?

And is it just me, or did the font size for the comments get bumped up a notch in relation to the initial post?
