Default AiM User Profiles Disappeared!?

I am a long time AiM user. Today I am at the track. I downloaded my data and when I tried to look at it in Analisys I discovered that all of my user profiles are gone. Otherwise my data appears to be intact. Can anyone help me figure out what might have happened? Or where they might have gone? What is the standard location for them? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Any changes recently?

Same thing happened to me this past Monday at VIR, I didnt make any changes or updates to it either. I couldn't find any on my computer or anything either. I just went without my usual windows and just made some on the fly. I wonder if an auto update messed up.

Very strange especially considering I am now at VIR, too.

Did you ever save them or export them? In RS2, under file, look at the default location it has to see if you can import profiles from there.

Ummm, quite sure he saved them when he made them... They shouldn’t just disappear.

No, I never thought to save them to a different location.

I am going to attempt to restore from a backup. I'm sure I have a backup from a time before this problem developed. But, for future reference, can you please identify the files/folders and their locations that we should all want to back up on a regular basis? This would make it easier to restore them in cases like mine.

Agree they shouldn't disappear. I was asking if he had saved them as an exported group 5hat he could reimport.

Obviously they were saved to the list when he made them.

If you have time this morning, I’m up at my office on 1081 Ace Drive in the VIR Technology Park from 10:30 AM-noon and I’ll show you where to look.

It appears more likely to be a software issue than a user-created one. Big shout out to ProCoach for making time for me at his track office yesterday to help me. Always a treat to get face time with him!!
