Blank Posts
« on: September 18, 2009, 05:50:34 PM »
I've been trying to read threads, and I've noticed that a lot of them have blank posts. There was obviously text at some point in them, but for whatever reason, it isn't showing up now. I did think it was only old posts (first noticed it on a thread that was 4 or 5 years old), but I've since seen it on new posts.

Any idea why the text of some people's posts is disappearing?

It's a glitch that happened during the last server update and is being looked into.

Just curious if there's any headway into this, as I'm seeing this more and more in recent threads.   :P  Its just a bit frustrating to open a thread to try and see what the OP is asking and not have a post from them, or several other people that have replied.  Oh well, will just wait and see.

Um.. afraid not. My view from the last few days was a completely empty forum. :-s I'll have another look at this on the weekend.

Is it really back or is this a dream?

Well that's actually GOOD news cause if you are seeing blank posts, then that means you are in fact accessing the forum.

When we come across a blank posted thread should we use the report to moderator button or list them on here or send via PM?

Either way is fine. WebyJ sent me a list of her own blank posts that will take a couple of hours to get through, I didn't realise there were so many, or had hoped there weren't. Thanks. :)
