AMOS MODERATOR HERE! E mail Tammy of member services [email protected] but make this a warning to the rest of you! Backup your profiles! Print a copy perodically, and put it in a safe place. I know how I would feel if mine disappeared....

I ended up taking my profile completely off for just this reason. It IS very important to document - I just don't document on this website anymore because I would have things disappearing or repeating themself more often than not.

I get paranoid about this, so I periodically copy mine to a microsoft word document. Kind of insurancce just in case. You might want to try that next time so all your hard work isn't lost.

Back in 2001, when I was just a "lurker" on this site and had not started my journal, I would continually read about people having their profiles deleted. So what I do is every time I post, I also copy to a profile page in my own personal website. My journal is important to me... so I keep a back up just in case. Best of luck to you.
