I logged on this morning and have noticed that my ribbon has gone!


I've checked my vbPlaza editing tools and they are all set to display my ribbons and gifts!

Don't say tht someone managed to get into the 'thief' section and pinched it from me!

That's weird! According to the vbPlaza Menu, "thief" isn't activated. I can't see the ribbons in your public profiles, either.

Weird, isn't it?
I wonder if we've crossed into the world of the Outer Limits on this one?


Yeah, I know the thief thing is disabled, but you never know if someone really, really wanted my ribbon!

I hadn't thought to check my public profile - odd that they're not there either!
I think if the thief setting was activated, we could only steal points anyway! (or so I imagine)

Neet, didn't you have ribbons too? Or am I thinking VF?

I can't see anything except "give gifts" in your profiles that the mods can access, i.e., they only show that you've bought things, but not what. Maybe Ryan can clear up the mystery? I've given notice of the problem in the ML.

How strange! Thanks for checking from the mod perspective, Tricia!
It's strange that I can still access the give ribbons section!
I'm sure Ryan will be along to solve the issue!


Ah, you're just confusing me now, Neet!

Hmmmm the only thing I can come up with is that maybe, possibly, you may have deleted it accidentally? I know that the settings are to let members delete their own gifts and ribbons, and I can't really think of any other reason? maybe Ryan will have a better idea.

Hmm, I'm not sure as that's the first time I've been in the vbPlaza editing bit!


I have been having some 'puter issues though and the cats have been standing hanging around the computer, so maybe they did it for me?

My ribbon has dissappeared too!

And the little teddybear i bought myself never turned up either!

And I definately never deleted it! I wouldn't even know how!

Where is the thing to say if you want stuff displayed or not??

Is it possible you were thinking of the ones you have at VF Sar? I checked your history log and there are no transactions for awareness ribbons here. I also checked to see what happened if an admin deletes a ribbon and if a regular user deletes a ribbon both private and public. I found that none of those actions will clear the user's actual history log. I will give you a refund anyway, since software isn't perfect and it's possible that there's some other explanation.

I see the gift transaction in your history log. Can you try something for me? Click on your username and see if the teddybear shows up there.

Thank you for taking the time to check that. It makes my job easier.

Hmm, no I'm positive I bought my HIV ribbon here too!
Thanks for the refund though, Ryan, I'll probably use it to buy more gifts for others


How strange that it doesn't have a record of me buying it though?
I can pretty much guarantee that I bought my HIV ribbon here and my HIV and Gay Pride ribbon over at VF


Thanks for the hard work though!
Maybe with my refund, you'll get a special little gift
