[Master4902]

My designs (all of them) got changed to fag with the description of loser



I think this is the work of a hacker

[Pawel.Anikiel]

LOL
mine designs are ok

[lord_hamybal]

damn that is just *()& up man ...

Are those actually your designs Master? It looks like someone just spammed designs to your account. All of the IDs are in order.

[edit] schmittd try searching the name of one of your designs. I've found old designs and levels that were deleted by searching the names.

[Error-QM]

A particularly notable 5-star Reach Up design by schmittd vanished from the "View Other Players' Designs" menu. It was only a few pages after mine so I think they're even gone from the searches...

Yes. Those are all my designs (I didn't make those "fag" designs though, must have been a bot or something. Because someone removing my 635 designs and replacing them with "fag" seems impossible, without the use of a bot). My brown designs, longways, everything. Gone and replaced. (Insert sad music here)

Well they aren't technically gone, they've been deleted. In the same way that if you make a design, then delete it, but re-enter its ID in, it will show up. It's just super hard to find them now, nothing you can do about that. Unless they're still on the resource...?

[jdccdj1]

that's why i copy and paste all my important id's on a separate file on my computer...as long as this site
is up and running, i'll have access to my designs even if they are removed from my personal design
page

[Wafflekins]

What is the link for fc resource? None of the links I know work anymore.

[schmittd]

fc resource
http://fc.sk89q.com/

It's not in the resource! AHHHHH </end panic>

But if you look here http://fc.sk89q.com/userdesigns?userId=1218448, you can see I only have 2 designs, which are the designs I just made yesterday.

I don't even what to do here.

once my designs were gone too, but if I made a design it wouldn't show up. but it seems like that you still can make designs. once my designs came back, but I don't if it happens with yours. at least you got a video from some of your designs.

[Master4902]

at least you got a video from some of your designs.

Yeah.. that video seems to be the only thing remaining about my designs..

EDIT: One of my designs are in the wiki. Maybe I can still play them by accessing their links!

DOUBLE EDIT: It's not working.. they are deleted...

Well, no hope now. Gotta start from the beginning :/

TRIPLE EDIT: They're still working :D

All designs, using the ID, are confirmed working. They're just not showing up in My Designs or in the resource

[Aurek-san]

Any way to retrieve design IDs if I haven't documented them?

[rianbay812]

easy:

tmus 11 million design IDs

[Wafflekins]

Why is it called tmus-ing? (Entering design IDs in order until you find one you want to see) I would like to see the competition tmusquez did this in...

okay give me a min...

Okay the history of tmus'ing...

The term tmus'ing was coined by Hero88go in 2009 after the following incident in the chat room:
The user 'tmusquez', in attempt to see Jkouw01's solve to his shuffle edit on the IRC shuffle,* found the latest ID and subtracted one number from the design ID until he found the one he wanted. We've all done it. But it's frowned upon.

*the answer to your question.
