I did my purge for cash hands for certain dates. After that i can't see hud for specific players and it showing blank and not recording their hands either. The alias i created for them for different sites, the main id i cant even open on pt4 or any ids under them. Please tell the wayout to solve this mystery.

There is an issue whereby if all hands are purged for a main alias then hands for the secondary alias(es) are lost and unfortunately there isn't a way to undo that unless you have a recent database backup. If you don't have a backup then you will need to create a new database, reimport your hands using 'Play Poker -> Get Hands From Disk' and reconfigure the aliases.

Those hands have been purged from that database so they cannot be exported from there anymore. If the hands were originally played on this computer then the original hand history files should be archived in your 'Processed' folder and you can reimport from those files instead:

So much time has passed. Basically years! Is there any chance of this issue to be fixed in the nearest future? (I mean automatic splitting up all old aliased players during purging). I'm just quite confused with it, because now it's time to purge some of the oldest hands in my DB (to reduce the DB's size) and I am just afraid to do it, because there is a decent risk to lost some of oldish aliased players. It would be kind of helpful, if I could at least check, if there are some "risky" aliases, which should be broken manually before purging the oldest HHs, but there is no such tool neither... :cry:

I don't have an update but I'll mention this issue again to the development team on your behalf.
