Posts randomly vanishing?

My post at the bottom of page 2 there, it's... nothing. However I did post a sentence, now it's gone.

There's no edit notice, no reason for it to have been removed, and when I try to use the quick edit it just doesn't even load, and when I go to quote it nothing shows up in the post box, not even quote tags surrounding nothing.

I've seen this happen to another post or two in other threads, but I thought it was people just continuing a "post nothing to confuse people" trend from the EoF.

perhaps that lady that brings bad karma to things joined gba temp.. !?

Holy shit, MUST.... KILL...THAT... HOT CHICK!!!!!!!!

But very weird and annoying bug, hope it gets fixed somehow.

It actually happened to a thread of Costello's a few days ago, so he rolled back the thread. He may know more about what causes it now.

I still dont know as this looks completely random... I can't get it to happen when I want it to
I "rolled back" the thread? no... I had to rewrite the post

I will attempt to upgrade the web servers to fix the issue...

@Costy since GBAtemp is in a partnership with VPN1Euro IIRC, wouldn't that mean you get a really good server anyway?

Off-topic: Is Ask GBAtemp an IPB addon or an unofficial mod?

Really? I refreshed the thread and a couple of posts that had been added had vanished as well.

Did you replace it with the same ID?

Maybe the server needs a maintanence.

I too fell victim of this. I can't figure out how it happened, or how to reproduce the bug. I was posting this topic- http://gbatemp.net/t272189-before-after-3d...ment-comparison

After a few comments, and a few replies of my own, the top post suddenly vanished after i submitted a new reply. I have no idea how it happened, and the edit button showed a blank post. I ended up having to rewrite the post...

Very strange, thanks for referring me to here Rydian, i didn't know this was an issue and thought it was just a once in a lifetime bug. No clue what they can do to fix it though since it can't even be traced.

This has happened to me a few times, and it's annoying as all hell.


What really bothers me is sometimes my post does show up, but it gets cut off... I have no idea how that works.

This keeps happening to me, though I think it only happens when I use BBCode, could be wrong.
Don't worry, it's probably just Rydian's fur clogging up the server again

He has fur?

I was editing my PSP guide yesterday and when I pressed Preview once it had disappeared, but pressing preview again brought it back.

Good thing I check previews often. So far that's the only occurrence.

 

[Daidude]

I see that happen alot

 

[bdr9]

There must be something in common between all of the posts that it has happened to.

 

[Costello]

it happens in private messages too and other places.
I don't really get it.

If you try posting a blank message it won't let you (you have to write something) so the bug has to happen AFTER the content is parsed by the php script

though everything gets saved properly EXCEPT for the content.
could it be that the SQL database is corrupted, or theres some kind of problem with it?
I need to do some kind of cleanup, I suppose...

Exactly. It all came of and got stuck in the server.
OT: Could it be a browser issue?
Oh, It happens after it's been parsed, that rules out browser then I think.

 

[ProtoKun7]

Nah, it's definitely server-side.
