closed Vimeo integrity check deleted all my videos

All my videos (onsite, YouTube, and Vimeo) were successfully imported from my Ning site. I noticed that my Vimeo videos did not show thumbnail images like the YouTube and onsite videos and wanted to correct that. I noted in the DataStore for Vimeo, no artwork urls appeared as they did in the other video lists. Hmm...

Exploring the documentation, I found that it was necessary to create a Vimeo app and enter the client codes in the module config. I did that. Still no thumbnails.

Then I foolishly tried running an Integrity Check. It deleted all but one of my Vimeo videos (along with their comments) saying the videos don't exist on Vimeo. They do! They're set as private, hidden from Vimeo, only viewable on selected sites -- including my Jamroom site. Now what? I need to get my videos and their comments back, hopefully with their thumbnail images.

Fortunately the deleted vimeos are still in your Recycle Bin so can be restored from there - ACP=>Dashboard=>Recycle Bin
Let me know if you want me to do that for you.
When restored I'll look at the Vimeo Integrity Check code to see why this is happening and if there is a fix.
Thanks

Got the videos back and learned about the Recycle Bin! Great! Thank you. I won't plan on doing an Integrity Check again.

Still no thumbnails on those videos, though. Seems like the privacy is blocking the picture from showing up, even though the video is allowed. I guess I should make this a separate thread. Will do.
