Inventory bugs?

I've had two weirdnesses occur in my inventory lately. I've reported them a while ago but haven't gotten any reply, so just wondering if these have happened to anyone else and if they know a way to get them working again.

The first is that my Lost and Found folder has never worked, from day one. Things would say they've been returned to me and went to my Lost and Found folder, but nothing would show up in there, even after a tp or relog. They would simply vanish from the world, as it were. Then the other day while I was building, there was some lag when I hit control-z to undo and the whole house I was building decided to empty itself piece by piece into my Lost and Found folder - and the pieces actually showed up, along with all of the things I had ever lost before in SL! So of course, I was thrilled, and emptied out the folder. However, I have had things returned to my Lost and Found since, and once again, it is broken, and I can't seem to get it to reproduce the "suddenly showing up" thing.

The other is that, when I went to furnish my new home the other day, I went into my folder of furniture and found that my folder of chairs and sofas had vanished. I hadn't touched the furniture folder in ages, as I didn't have any place for the furniture, so I seriously doubt I had accidentally deleted it or anything. All the other folders were there. I also check my trash folder before emptying it to make sure there is nothing in there I don't want to delete, and never saw it in the trash. Searching the inventory also revealed nothing. Anyone else have missing folders? This did, coincidentally, occur after the database move, so I'm wondering if it happened then, or if that was entirely coincidence. Like I said, since I really don't use the furniture, it could have happened before the move, too.

Any info would be great. :)

I haven't had whole folders disappear but bits and pieces of inventory disappear. Some magically reappear hours or days later, others I haven't seen since. I do however had 2 clothing folders (one empty that just showed up yesterday) and 2 lost and found folders (which like yours don't seem to work at all). The other odd thing was someone said they found 65 prims worth of my stuff on their land earlier this week. It was land I did not recognize and haven't been to. The land owner said they returned it, but nothing appeared in my inventory - lost and found or anywhere else. Very weird....

I had the same thing happen to me, with random large numbers of prims belonging to me being on someone else's land, and not being returned to me when they said they returned it. Very weird :/ Thanks for replying!
