I can find no warnings recorded for you, either in the automatic system or the manual system. You either have a faulty memory, or at some point you slipped a moderator a nice bottle of Scotch to lose your files.

Green indicates you are on line. Gray indicates you are off-line. Red indicates that you are browsing in “Invisible Mode.” You see your button as red, others see it as gray.

Yellow indicates you probably have jaundice. Green indicates you’re nauseous. Brown indicates you’re full of it. Black indicates that you were born under a bad sign.
