A lot of my PMs got deleted

I came back to my forum after a one year break and 80% of my PMs disappeared..?

What happened? can I somehow get them back?

You must've got new PM's so the old ones got deleted as there is a limitation on the number of messages stored.

no, this is not the case, I know they do delete the oldest PMs when I receive new PMs, but my inbox was 100% full before, and now is 16% full.

thanks for replying.

do you know what will happen if I forgot my password? @0@ I tired everything that I could think of to log into that page? I also think the email that I used to create the forum is different from the one that I am currently using....
BTW, it asks for the forum address... is it without the http://www. part ?

I tired so many time, that I am being banned from logging in for another 360 mins T___T now, I am so worried that I will never be able to log into that page and restore my forum again, if that happens, what can I do T___T

Thanks for replying, I will try that.
Hopefully, I will be able to get my PMs back without losing a lot of forum posts.
