Not sure what's happening but I check my recent forum posts on my profile page and they're all just...gone? I'm sure if I was breaking any forum rules with those posts the mods would let me know right? On Firefox in a Windows 8.1 machine.
Forum posts suddenly disappearing
I looked at your profile and I see all the deleted posts as well, but they weren't deleted by a moderator and there is no reason any of them should have been deleted anyway. An engineer will have to look into this one. Are you sure there is no way you could have deleted them yourself, maybe by mistake on mobile or something?
One more thing it might have been. I did just recently clean out the 'Your Updates' feed on my profile page which seems to get populated with random posts from staff members which I don't know how to prevent. Manually deleted them one by one and then this forum problem pops up. Perhaps something about the API detected me deleting things from that tab and also thought to delete my forum posts? I have no idea why the site would let that happen but that's my best guess as of now.

Just tested, I can confirm that deleting items from the "Your Updates" feed also deletes the items with the same index from the "Your Activity" feed.
I've had the same few things in that feed on my profile page for years now, and only just decided to delete them a few minutes ago. I then opened and read this thread, went to check if I was affected by what mezmero details up above, and of course some of my posts are gone.
Don't care if they're recovered or not, just thought it was funny timing.
