[DevTeam] [Zeke]: I love that I get emailed when someone reports spam on the boards, but I can't do anything about it.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: lol i got you
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: How about "hide email address from public checked" and it's still visible in all my posts...
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: I'd delete my account on this site, but by the time I realized the problem half the spambots on the planet had it already
[Developer] [Pazza]: Astaldo if you log out and view your profile with a refresh you'll see that your email is hidden.
[Developer] [Pazza]: Your user level on the forums permit you to see emails even though they are marked hidden.
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: Ah.. thanks for the clarification and apologies for "crying wolf" in that case :
[DevTeam] [Kaidenn]: PAZZA! i miss you.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: Lol, it's funny how it takes spam message reports to get me to come back
[DevTeam] [sylvanaar]: Check out the beta tester forum. Need alpha testers and feedback so I can come up with a maintenance plan.
[Developer] [Pazza]: loaded some new spam prevention modules... lets see if this stops the bastards.
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Thought I'd check in and say Howdy Doody from Australia
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Yeah the spam from shoes salesmen was becoming insane
[Guest] [Delakando]: What ever happened to the ability to track friend's location by wim? Other then just showing their general zone location.

I've set WIM to record all messages, no maximum messages per user, and not delete any messages. I delete parts of the wim file by hand if files for any one user get really large.
Today, I logged on to Warcraft to find WIM had reset to default and my entire history was lost  Cry

Is there any way to retrieve it, and to prevent this from happening again?

Hmm, that's interesting... Is there anything specific you may have done different the last time you were on? What files where you deleting by hand when they got too large? Any new addons?

Here are the ways in which your WIM's data can be erased...

- deleting WIM.lua from your saved variables folder.
- deleting your entire WTF folder which in turn contains your saved variables.
- game crash resulting in saved variables file being damaged.
- an in-game addon or script which manipulated some WIM globals: in particular WIM_History. Which in this case is unlikely since also your WIM_Data was modified as well. So I would have to go with one of the other possibilities already mentioned.

History is pruned overtime (or as per user preferences in /wim ) however WIM's settings are never.
