Posts whiteing out
« on: August 21, 2010, 09:28:22 PM »
I've noticed something strange lately... if not months, then weeks ago I started finding old posts that have nothing written, but were previously filled with text.

Why is this happening? Even the 1st posts of some threads have been disappearing and there seems to be no reason to justify this... It's annoying at times, you want to read what important thing the poster typed but you can't, you can only rely on quotes to read the original post... And sometimes there aren't even quotes to it.


Take a look at these posts:

What happened to my post here? I'm quite sure I typed "Apio Verde Flying_Chao!"
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,3578.msg132631.html#msg132631

Same thread... what happened to his speech?
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,3578.msg132763.html#msg132763

And where are the languages he speaks written?
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,3550.msg124926.html#msg124926

Update, found a dead post on my own Stock showcase...
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,3173.msg134434.html#msg134434


Am I the only one experiencing this? Refreshing doesn't work either...
Please someone stop these strange occurrences.

I think posts which were not necessary in a thread were whitened out.


It happened to me once. My post (judging how the thread was going) was not necessary, as no one replied to it directly.


I removed it after I saw that it had whitened out.

I think I linked to it in the first post, but in my showcase, my post in which I showed that yellow front spinner bot in which I used the Trovaner Chassis Glitch is gone too.

Congratulations, no errors found! Thanks for checking.

This function is supposed to restore missing posts or threads.  Clearly something is wrong, but I don't know what it is and neither does the forum.


Perhaps there are just too many posts on here for the system to keep track of?
