disappearing text in posts?

Is there any hope that the posts that are missing text will ever be restored?  Over on the Quick and Easy Recipes board we have thousands of recipes, and we are discovering more and more of them are missing half of the recipe, or more!

I clicked on maybe 15 recipes randomly and came up with 6 of them missing part of the post.

Most of our board members have quit posting new recipes because it hardly seems worth the effort if the recipe is going to disappear.  Add in the fact that we can't search to find recipes because the results that come up are only vaguely related and are often on non-cooking boards. Even when I searched the EXACT title of a post, it did not come up in the results. I had to manually click "see all threads" and search through pages to find it.

I guess CMEvelyn is trying to bulk up the posts, but most of the stuff she posts are just links to articles elsewhere on iVillage, which just takes people AWAY from our board. Which might be better for iVillage and the ad revenue, but it doesn't really serve our members......
