Hi not a new member but did take a break and was asked to re-verify email. Can you please remove moderation?
Well I am allowed to start a conversation which is excellent, but all of my old conversations have lost all their replays. The conversation topic and my first post is there but that's all. Any chance of getting them back?
Otherwise everything else seems fine thank you.

The forum was moved onto different software in December 2021. Before that the forum did not use the conversation thread style, all private message posts were separate messages. They should still be there.
Yes I remember and the original message is there but none of the replays are visible. It shows the other person I was messaging but not their replies. I mean it's not a terrible loss if I can't get them back but they did have info from my earlier tube amp builds.
They look normal, mine look the same.. but I was not showing you a screenshot of the conversation, I was showing you a screenshot of the list. The replies are completely separate.
You have to go out of the message and go down the list before you find the reply. This is the way it was on the old forum.

Ok maybe I'm doing something wrong, I click the envelope and am told I have no recent conversations so I click show all then this comes up.
then I click on one of the titles but only the first post is shown. What am I doing wrong?
Also all in the list shows 0 replies.

They are supposed to show 0 replies, that is normal for PMs from the old forum software. It looks good from here. The new software will not glue them together.
I also see you have PMs going out and coming in, that is normal.

Ok if you say this is normal tell me how am I supposed to read any of the replies to any of these conversations ? Clicking on any of them gives me nothing, and none of the replies are visible from this screen. Is there some other way to view them?
How did you bring up that single conversation you showed me. The list I showed you is not one conversation but all my previous conversations, though I cannot seem to find any of the replies to any of them. Please tell me how I am going wrong?

Something is getting lost here, you are not grasping what I'm trying tell you and keep telling me everything is normal when I'm telling you it's not. The list I show is not a pm and a reply, it's only the first pm either from or to me, but the next pm in line is nowhere to be seen. I'm asking where do I find the 2nd and 3rd pm in the chain. I'm not asking for the software to stitch them together I just want to have access to them which I cannot seem to find.
I'm sorry about that. I'm trying to understand.
The list I showed is the same list that you showed.. except all my replies are there one after the other.
All these three appear to be from the same conversation (they have the same title) what do they show for you?

Yes that is correct, i apologize that conversation is the only one with replies. I missed it because it was not important. The other conversations were. But I give up, they are gone. I'm done.
@riven67 What's gone? The replies to your messages? If they are from the old software, then they are not folded up under a single click. The replies will say RE🙁Topic) as AllenB pointed out.
Here is an example from my old messages:
That's a back and forth where they are all listed one after the other. You should see that if there are replies to your messages. Clicking on any of those brings up the message or reply. With the he new style you would see just one link for the conversation, and all the back and forth is seen when you click that one link.
Are you not seeing a list of your old messages and the replies to those messages as seen above?

Yes it was the replies to my messages that I was talking about. I became frustrated because I apparently wasn't getting through to the moderator, but after thinking about it maybe the replies I remember being in my messages might have been answered in threads. It was years ago after all. So no worries, I'm re-reading old posts and finding answers to most of what I was looking for, I apologize for the mistake.
