Restore old data to reposted save

  • XVNexus     28th Feb 2020 Member 0 Permalink

    A while back I moved my texters over to a new account but that reset everthing like vote score and comments.

    I want to get the vote score, comments, and history (all data about the save) reset to how it was before I moved them.
    I really didn't think that through well deleting and reoploading my top save with 94 score and lots of comments on it on a different account.

    You can't move save votes / comments / history. If you wanted to keep that, you shouldn't have created a new account. Maybe you just wanted to rename the old account?

    Yes. I was thinking at the time that it would be quicker to make a new account then get my name changed.

    Should I just do the "Ask Simon and wait" thing from my old account?"

    "You can't move save votes / comments / history." Does that mean that there is still data in a backup somewhere linked to my old account?

    Everything on your old account is still there ... unless you deleted the saves, then it is not.

    Oof, the saves are deleted.

    (I sent a PM about username change)
