Disappearing content
« on: April 18, 2012, 08:36:32 pm »
I've been noticing a really weird bug lately that causes content to simply disappear from posts and PMs.

The first time I saw it was in a PM to kindermoumoute, which had a few paragraphs followed by a quote with more paragraphs inside. Everything showed up until the quote box, which is there but is empty.

And there's this post by ztrumpet, which is entirely gone (you can click QUOTE if you want to see his BBCode).

I'm thinking it has something to do with parsed links (without [url] tags), because there was one in the empty quote box in my PM as well as in the main body of ztrumpet's post.

I guess we could test to see if that is the issue.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Hmm that is strange. I noticed that before but only in minus world posts. Could it be a CSS issue? Because I clicked QUote and the message still appeared. ???

Is it very frequent by the way?


EDIT Seems like a QUote glitch O.O


Here's the one that I would personally recommend: http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/archives:nibbles  It bases collision detection and everything off the graph screen, so it produces some interesting and fast code.

It's not CSS because the content itself isn't there (not just not visible), so it must be some script that's not parsing it correctly.

The content shows in the print page 0.o
So I'll guess it's something to do with rendering the normal page?

Well I clicked Quote and the content mysteriously appeared in the post editing box. ???

Eg In Ztrumpet's quote above:

It seems random. First of all with certain timestamps it seems to glitch out. But also in the quote above, if I add the http:// at the beginning of the first link, the quote breaks O.O

Seems like something is wrong with URLs in quotes. Netham45 might have broken something

That's the thing -- the BBCode is there on the server, but it's not getting converted to HTML.

Well at  least the content was not lost, which is good. But yeah there's a bug with URL parsing it seems.

EDIT: http://www.omnimaga.org 2  test
