There are multiple solutions here.
The first one is your belt level verse how many pages you have claimed, there was a little space where you could claim more than awarded, and then that bug was fixed and mahalo took some if not all pages away.

Another possibility is a bug in itself. Mahalo has made a big change it wouldn't be surprising if there are little bugs that pop up every once in a while. The trick is to report these bugs to keep Mahalo better.

Goo input, @teemu, but I'm pretty sure I kept everything just shy of the 10-page max I am allowed as a green belt. Plus....even if I had gone above my max...you would think I'd receive a message requiring me to c-h-o-o-s-e a page to dump, instead of selecting one for me.

I have reported it to Mahalo. But I have low hopes.

Yes. The ones I claimed are not there, so I quit working on them until the bugs are worked out.

Grrr, doesn't it frustrate you that someone else can then go and claim them??

sorry to hear that trace, what were the pages you claimed and worked on?

Jeff, they're back now, as well as the $2 I've made so far today. Still missing my points and $6 something, though, as well as a way to see if my payout request went through.

Thanks for reporting the issue, were trying to iron the bugs and figure out exactly how this happened. I don't think it will be a problem getting you your Twilight page back, the user who claimed it already has more pages claimed then they are allowed. We'll keep you posted @gno

Thank you, thank you, Jeff! So glad you're around to make my day turn around. I don't mind re-doing the work, as long as I still can look forward to it. Really, truly appreciate your help.

Hey Jeff, I also just noticed that in my profile summary, the site still seems to think I've claimed 9 pages - which would be true if I hadn't lost this one. That might need to be adjusted at some point to accurately reflect what I've got goin' on. :)

UPDATE:

Well Jeff, lost another page again today. This one I was able to reclaim (I think) on my own (phew!).

And as I'm s-u-r-e you've noticed, answers and comments are missing all over the site. Good luck with this. Please let us know when we have the "all-clear" to not worry about losing pages randomly.

We think we may have figured this one out -- very very sorry for the heartbreaking on particular pages being lost. I will update this thread when I am sure we have indeed solved this issue. Thanks for your understanding!

I just made a question: http://www.mahalo.com/answers/web-2-0/bloggers-writers-how-do-you-deal-with-distractions-and-get-things-done

And I saw answers for about 3 minutes rolling in, reading them, trying to reply to them (my comments/replies) were taking forever to process, so I hit refresh. And BAM! All of the answers disappeared. I am so mad!

There must be a bug somewhere?

If I was the one who claimed "twilight" after you did all that work, I would gladly give it to you. You're an asset here @gno!

When I press "Edit title" the content on the page all disappeared. I was expecting to just change the title. Not for the content to disappear.
