Well, now the background image is just a large, black... nothingness. Anyone have any idea?

EDIT: Problem is now resolved.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Dr. Lighthead mentioned last night in the chat that he'd be doing a backup of the server sometime early this morning, so that was probably it.  It looks fine now in any case.

It's been happening all the time though, for a few days now.

I just now mentioned it is all

maybe it's a dns issue? perhaps this topic would be better suited for evc? (also no problems on my end).

I was having horizontal scroll-bars in some of my RP posts. Not sure if that's related, but...

I would like to note that the photoexchange has been eaten... again...

weird o.o@photoexchange...It's as though the latest post is now on page 76 of the topic, and then the topic is just blank for the rest of the pages.

*trying to check into that, since I think something like this has happened before* Not quite 100% sure yet, but I think it's because all the posts made by "Unknown" (you know, all the "this post is missing and can't be restored" posts) were made hidden, so the topic ended up reacting strangely to that.

Edit:  Made all the "Unknown" posts visible again -- looks like that did the trick.

All of those are unrecoverable posts? Jeez, may as well hide them again. XD

I agree with the idea of hiding them in terms of post content, since there's no real reason for them to be visible (aside from being some sort of historical reminder of the EZHack of '05, perhaps?^^; ). But if hiding them creates issues for topics that have a bunch of them within them (like the photoexchange), then I figure it's best to just leave them visible instead, even if that means there are a bunch of pointless posts hanging around within older threads. *dunno if there's some way to both hide them and not have issues happen with said threads -- would be nice if there were some way to do that o.o*

Does this only come up when in topics with "Unknown" posts? @ Leraku

This is probably being caused by a caching error which is causing the data to record the empty space as still containing something of value. It happens sometimes and can be a pain to fix. :-/ Although, you might be able to just go into the source data and delete the extra pages. Although that doesn't always work.

SATails had been working on the HTML a while ago... maybe that was it. No matter, it's done now.

Edit: Someone close topic please!

Actually, I only tried to fix the scrolling on the front page(which apparently isn't there anymore. wtf), which I reverted from a backup when it didn't do anything.

Leraku, this thread was a good idea. I opt for it being made into a sticky as a way for members to report glitches and trouble shoot.
