    @brogerstech I don't know if it made a difference, but almost immediately after my previous post, I got through to SOLUTIONCAVE44 on Instagram chat and he was incredibly helpful in helping me resolve a months long issue that other agents would not help with. Someone give that man a raise!

    @iamamro @R_McCormack Exactly! Plus it was obviously random anyway because when I tried to get back in a few months later I had no problem at all accessing it. (I don't trust Instagram, but I like to check out some friends there from time to time)

    @LaurenBerson The fastest way to get help is to tag the execs' twitter accounts at @instagram like @mosseri. Basically just look up who works there or is head of healthcare/product and tag them and usually they will fix it pretty fast. G ood luck!

    @B_Rabbit843 @Rialisms I know she is more on instagram these days, but I guess she has just been working a lot too. That's the reason she is rarely around these parts these days. She is going to have a busy few months with Uzaki S2 on the way.

    @Frots619 They said they closed it by mistake, restored it and now closed it again, I feel teased by @instagram . I have read the guidelines, I can not find anything that makes me understand what the problem is.
