Disappearing Best Responses

Someone had posted something about missing posts and Best Responses disappearing.
That caused me to look at mine. I found one Best Response missing. I reported it to myLot who said they knew about the problem and were working on it.
Since then I have noticed another one missing and reported. This time I haven't even gotten a reply.
Has anyone noticed this too? I don't want all my best replies to vanish one by one.
Thing that stinks is I only remember the topic of one that is missing.

REALLY??? gosh... i didn't know this kind of things happen here, and as i can see from what you said, you're not the only one who goes through such a problem...
this is definitely not alright. i mean those are responses that other people considered to be the best because they deserved it... and they make them disappear... it is not fair at all!
this should be taken into account seriously!
thanks for this topic, i'll definitely check my responses more often...

Yeah I am checking them every couple of days. I have decided to write down the ones I have in case any more go missing I will know which one it is.
I hope none of yours are missing.

I haven't had this happen to me yet (and I hope it doesn't), but it sounds sucky. I think I'll start copying and pasting my "best responses" to an email every few days just to be on the safe side. At least I'll be able to contact the admins and let them know exactly which discussions disappeared.

I remember reading that discussion as well, oh heavens now best responses are disappearing?! I resolved a few discussions today and as far as I remember there were no missing ones(which I had previously marked) But do you mean the best responses you've marked or received? I'm confused now..lol I think the previous discussion was about resolved discussions which were back in the unresolved list. Discussions which had been previously marked with a best response came up as unresolved.

I do hope they get this fixed soon. I mean the ones I received. I am not sure if any I chose have come back. I haven't been on much lately cause my son is sick.

You are most welcome. It was another member that actually mentioned it first. I just made it the focus of this discussion.
I just wish they would fix it as I never got them back.

i read in a discussion about this.i cant able to keep track of all my best responses.if they are of long before then it wont be possible to remember that.i want to know wheather those best responses of yours which has been disappeared are of recent ones?further we cant expect that we will be awarded the best again as it will be added as unresolved to the starter of the discussion and they cant remember to whom it was given before.very unlikely situation and hence mylot has to take immediate action in this regard.

Yes they should take immediate action! I have only been here since Feb 1st so none were that old.
Well the one I remembered I went to the post and added a note saying that my best response had vanished. (I wasn't trying to be pushy just leaving a reminder for the OP to make it easier.)

I'm pretty sure they haven't deducted anything but I do think that you earn more if you have best responses. I also think it helps your rating. (these are my theories and I have no way of proving it)
I do hope I get them back.
Someone mentioned going thru and thanking each person for best response so if they do go back to unresolved it will be easy for the person to choose it again.

I posted a discussion about my best responses missing along with getting several resolved discussions back in my unresolved discussions. I wrote to mylot but I never heard anything more about it. At that time I had lost 2, after that I started writing them down. I have lost 2 more in the past few days. :(
since I hadn't heard back from them I finally resolved those 3 discussions that I had gotten back, I truly hope that I picked the same ones. :)
I hope to not be missing any more and hope that this glitch is soon fixed. :)

I agree it would sure cut don on the multiple emails they get and then the really important ones get over looked. Just an alert saying we are working on such and such a glitch at the moment. :) That would be nice.

Yes it was you. I's sorry I forgot who wrote it and I was too lazy to check.
I hope it gets fixed soon too. I just wish myLot would at least let us know what is going on.

I know in computer world things go crazy sometimes. I just think that they should let us know when they find out that something is happening. It is only fair and would cut down on people writing to complain.

I have no clue if any of the best responses I was chosen for have disapeared because I just don't pay that much atention to them. But I do know that I had two discussions that I had resolved all of a sudden end up back in the unresolved discussions section.
I did email admin and after a couple of responses all I really got was that it is a glitch and they are trying to work it out. I am just about ready to resolve the discussions and be done with it.

I haven't noticed any of them disappear yet (I really don't pay that much attention to them) but it had been a while since I had received any and then the other day I get 6, most of which I had responded to weeks ago....don't know if that was coincidence or if there is some sort of site script problem.

Yeah I hadn't gotten any in a while either. I do think it is a script problem. My frustration is that they are not keeping us informed.

I just checked mine and fortunately nothing was deleted. Lately, there are a lot of system upgrading going on at mylot. I was also having some problem with my profile. You might like to keep addressing this issue to mylot. With so many complaints they are receiving each day, it may take a few days to explain things clearly to you. Good luck.

They did reply when the first one went missing. I do understand that it is a glitch but I really wish they would keep us updated.

I have not noticed that yet. But I have read here that there are posts disappaering when the pay time is approaching. They clean those posts that have been posted before and i could connect that to disappearing best responses for when a certain topic is erased or discussion.

These aren't discussions disappearing. The discussions are still there but they have gone back to unresolved.

I think they are working on it. I hope it is fixed soon and no more people are affected.

so the best response is missing but not the topic?
Can you change best responses after they have been selected?

Yep the topic is still there but it went back to being unresolved. Nope you can't change it after you pick it.

I don't think that myLot deleted them. I think there is some kind of glitch. They said they were working on it but I would love some reassurance.
Thanks for replying. I hope we all get them back.

i posted a similar discussion about this yesterday since i also noticed one of my "best responses" (the ones i received) is gone. i noticed because i only have a few of them.
anyway, i tried searching for the main discussion that i replied to. at first, i couldn't find it. it made me wonder if it was deleted by mylot. if it was, i wondered why since it was about how young kids should be sent to school.
then, i searched for the main discussion again this morning and found it. so it wasn't deleted but it went back to being unresolved.
now i'm confused! haha!
well, since you said that mylot is very well aware of this problem, i hope that it gets fixed soon.

I hope they can fix it soon too. I hate for people to lose their best responses.

I had no idea this was happening. It's quite worrying actually.
If there are glitches in the system, I think Mylot should be working on those, and hopefully they are.
I can't understand why they'd be disappearing though, unless Mylot were deleting posts and you already stated that they're not.
I checked mine after reading this post, and they all seem to be intact still. Hopefully they'll stay that way.

I checked to see if the posts I remembered were still in discussions I replied to. They were.
It is a glitch but I think they should really tell people its happening.
