Sorry if there is a better place to ask this, or if the information I'm looking for is stated elsewhere, but I believe that my past account (with this same name) was somehow deleted last week? I stopped being able to log on or reset my password, and was not blocked from making this new account. However, once I logged in (same name, same email), all of my favorited redgifs were gone (since, y'know, new account).Obviously this is a silly thing, but is there any way to get them back? I spent a bunch of time consolidating favorite gifs from various places, and unfavorited them on those original services, so I'm kinda bummed to have them go poof. If there's no way to get them back, is there a way to search for ones favorited by my old account, like via account id or something? I'm not super familiar with how PHP works, admittedly, so this could be an unreasonable ask.

Reply by BoringKate (5 months ago)Hey! Sorry for that. The site got moved to another server (by my web host instead of me, so I didn't really get any control over how it was handled) and a couple weeks of data was lost. I mentioned it in the updates and general discussion thread, but it's understandable to have not seen that.

Reply by NoOneSpecial (5 months ago)Okay, thanks for the explanation! Glad the move was successful at least; I'll try to rebuild the collection over time :-)

Reply by NoOneSpecial (5 months ago)Hi, sorry one more question: Was there previously a feature where you could search redgifs by subreddit? And if so, did that feature vanish, or am I just failing to find it?

Reply by BoringKate (5 months ago)It stopped working (I don't know if it was because of the server change, but none of my php scripts seem to be able to load anything from reddit or post anything to reddit anymore), so I removed the link.

Reply by NoOneSpecial (5 months ago)Awesome, ty! I love the site, hopefully the questions didn't suggest otherwise.
