Lost my post counts since 2008 / Counter reset to zero posts after I logged in using google / Possible bug in forum software

[cybervinay]

I would like to bring this to notice of the moderators and super-mod @HiFiVision that my post count has been reset to 0 after I logged in using google authentication.
I have since lost my ability to post in classified section (sales and wanted).
Surprisingly the trophy score and reaction count is intact.

I am old member since 2008 and had more than 400 posts.
I would like to have the post count corrected so I am able to participate in the classified sections.

Did this kind of issue happened with anyone else, if yes how was this issue fixed.

Need help.

Thanks
Vinay Arora

One possibility I can think of is it created a separate account for you when you used google to login

I have tried removing google authentication and logging in with my original password but still count remains 0.

Classified is a Paid section now I believe. Maybe that is why you are unable to post there.

I am willing to pay but payment option is only available if you are eligible
I was eligible being an old member and with post count exceeding 400 but now I am showing as not eligible with message count reset to zero due to forum bug.

HVF mods to step in and help fix this. I am waiting anyone of them to take notice and do the needful here.

Ahhh now I understand. Try to report your own post to grab Mod's attention.

Why is google Authenticator the problem ?

 

[antoniodias]

Thanks for making us aware of the google authenticator that has issues on signing in. Lucky you that you brought attention of the mods

I have been using Google authenticator, but havent come across this. Not sure if Authenticator which is just a login enabler can do this.

Quite a few FMs have been using Google authenticator to login on hfv ever since @Yelamanchili manohar 's earlier account was hacked. @cybervinay , imo i do not think google authenticator is the problem.

 

[skroderider]

I think @cybervinay meant to type "Google authentication", i.e., login using Google's account, and not "Google authenticator" - which is a 2-factor app.

I might be wrong though.

Closing the thread as the matter has been resolved.
