OH NOES! WHAT THE HECK, LJ? (aka SisterRed muffed up again)

This morning I marked 5 comments in my inbox to be deleted - and LJ deleted 900.

???????????????????

Granted that solves my problem of having 900+ entries in my inbox but that wasn't what I wanted it to do! That 900 included some lovely recent PM's & conversation from y'all I'd been saving on purpose, birthday listings, how-to advice. In fact it deleted EVERYTHING except stuff I'd red flagged as "important" - about 21 comments.

(ok so maybe the fault isn't with LJ; maybe I clicked on a box that said "delete all" without paying proper attention. I am woman enough to admit it. albeit in small font.)

Damnity damnity damn damn it.

Holy shit, batman! This is not good.

I wish I had better computer knowledge, but i really don't know how to recover stuff like that (we don't have a "deleted" box on LJ, huh? It's a helpful little device for when we fucketh upeth)

Damn. Sorry. I offer cake, tea and sympathy

Ouch. That's awful.

Have you tried contacting LJ support? I'm thinking maybe, just maybe, they have some way of restoring deleted comments...

I'm so sorry! I hope somehow you are able to retrieve it. How does one get 900 entries?? *mind boggles*

Could everything be saved in your email? Try searching "livejournal" and see if anything comes up. I've found ancient comments and pms saved in my mail account.

Yikes! But on the bright side, I thought I was the only one who saved comments :P
