It's improved the last couple years because they hired someone whose main job was to respond to those kinds of threads.

IDK - there are definitely still issues with lag in the search indexing, sometimes up to a couple days, but I've never had any data loss other than one-time things that were reported and acknowledged, and I've never seen any of the other long-time regular power users in Talk complaining about database integrity (EVERYTHING ELSE, they complain about...) If it's all older stuff, is it possible they just weren't ever added?

Updating all the covers from the old Amazon ones as I go is part of why this process is taking so long. :P
