Why are some posts blank?

Like, for example.

I was trying to find an character tutorial to help me make my own character, Ferrocorde.


When I do find some, some of the posts are blankl

Like, just pure BLANK.

I didn't know where to post this, so I posted it here. Any help?

There was a sitewite glitch a while ago that deleted the contents of a bunch of posts. Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way to access the body of the posts unless the original poster contacts a staff member or is able to rewrite everything themselves :o

Your best bet is try contacting the OP if they've been active recently, or perhaps linking a staff member to the thread and seeing if it's possible for them to revert it.

I can provide an example of an thread if you want?


EDIT:

This is one of the threads that had this problem that I Found.


It's around the fifth and sixth post.

Yeah, that looks like the glitch! I found an older thread about this problem that has a few solutions: Click Me!

Adding onto what was said above, if you find a thread that has blank/no content, Private Message a staff member with a link to the thread. The data can be recovered, but it has to be done manually by staff. Unfortunately, there's no way to detect if a thread is missing content until we spot it, so the only way for us to be aware of the thread is by notifying staff.

Oh, okay!

I know the cause now!

Thanks!

Thank you for relaying that information, Torskite. Private message a staffer and we can potentially recover the thread or reply.
I'll go ahead and lock this now. <3
