Have the same problems here, xqsme. I wonder what happened. The site can restore games I'm sure, perhaps they can do the same for threads. Unless they got corrupted, as artfizz thinks. Actually for Word Association, the site can wipe out the first half or even two-third, as the aim is creating association of the current word (last word registered). That should solve the problem of unwieldy length.
Waiting Games

Wouldn't be surprised to have to start all over.Could we somehow honour/ observe the original title? Should we try ?

Report on observed faults has now been submitted..tkt ID 130630
(by the way Art sorry used not best word in my post 78... word I wanted was "deposition" but couldn't think of it at the time.A better word than the "disposed" meaning I used, Unchain sawed effect was spectacular, sort of very ancient Egyptian ,but glad u got rid of it.)

If the original titles can still be used that would be great as they're what members know the games as. I'm looking forward to seeing chess.com's reply to your report xqsme. I'm sure the staff would be helpful, as always. They make dreams come true on this site .
Just a point Imeant to make clear... the last Sep comments showing are Sep 2008 .. an awful lot of intellectual endeavour
( yes i am joking ) shall we say has been apparently wiped out but my real point is does this throw any light on nature of site problem that ocurred perhaps ?
