Your profile says that you have 11 posts including this one:

RealWhatever - 5

AskPoal - 3

TellPoal - 2

Whatever - 1

However, only this post of yours is visible to me in your post history and none of the others. Whatever the cause, it is not just a display issue for you.

I believe deleting a post you've created also decreases your post count total and count within the sub it was posted in. If this is the case, if you had deleted all of your past posts then they would not be counted in your post count there. I think it is unlikely that you've deleted all of your old posts and the counts just haven't updated. If you have deleted your old posts, you've either forgotten that you deleted them and the counts just did not update, or you intentionally deleted them and noticed that the counts did not update and then made this post asking what's going on with your old posts not showing with full knowledge of what is going on. Not saying that is what is going on, just noting a possibility of the situation.

Otherwise, of the subs you've posted in only /s/whateveris closed for posting. However, closed for posting does not prevent old posts from being viewed and your single post made in that sub should still be viewable even with the sub closed to posting. I do not believe the issue is related to the subs you've posted in where a sub being closed from viewing completely might cause posts to be inaccessible to viewing.

Based on your viewable comment history, you don't appear to be the type who would make a troll post about an issue and knowing there is no issue, so I think it likely is a bug, glitch or something not working properly for your account in the website database. It happens. Perhaps pose a query directly to @AOUor post in /s/poaldevabout this if you think something did bug behind the scenes. If it is a bug or issue for your account, then it likely has also happened to other accounts without being noticed yet. It might be good to catch and fix it before something worse happens like a cascade of all posts becoming disassociated from users' accounts.

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear it was indeed a bug and that you were able to fix it.

Also, glad to know doing the u/AOU (broke it to not double ping with my reply, not sure if that would happen) still pings just as an @ does. I edited the comment afterward to change it to an @ instead of /u/ but then realized it probably only pings upon submitting a new comment with the ping in the body and adding a ping in via an edit likely doesn't trigger the ping to be sent. Helpful to know for the future.
