I recently tried exploring my games with Game Explorer, but I don't think it shows any games I have played for a long time.

With me playing as white, there are 299 total games. I believe I have played significantly more than this number of games. But what really convinces me that there is a problem is that 73 games feature the Ruy Lopez opening and 0 for the Scotch even though I have been playing nothing but the Scotch for about half a year. I am using "My Chess Games" as the database and searching both live and online games. I only play 3 min Live Chess.

Why are my games not being displayed?

How many threads did you find about this when you first searched the forum before starting a new thread?

No I can't ignore your post....because I am interested in the issue and until I actually click on the post in the index I don't know that it's the same post that has been asked and answered a dozen times in the last 3 months (not 3 years).

Thanks for finally admitting that you have posted a multi-duplicate thread (which in the context of a forum is the very definition of a waste of time).  

There are numerous topics here that get reposted day in and day out due to people being too lazy or uninformed to check beforehand whether or not the topic has already been addressed.  This is making the forum almost unusable (which is why I use it much less than when I first joined).  The above is obvious, of course, but apparently explaining the obvious is necessary if you think that someone questioning the need for another of the same topic is a "waste of time" or even "unhelpful".

Given the forum is unmoderated the only chance of anything changing is people stepping in and saying something.  Not that I hold out a lot of hope given the number of offenders vs objectors.

Fair enough. Just be more like the second post down in this thread (helpful, relevant & nice! - like it says before you post).

Seriously it is the exact same thread (down to the repost and everything) and that guy was helpful! 

Sorry if I bugged you, but please try to give an answer to a question rather than being condescending and extremely unwelcoming to a new poster (and you wonder why these forums are "almost unusable").
