Jenny Emily Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The bargain hunters thread seems to have incomplete text in all the posts. This has only been the case since last night's downtime, so I wonder if something corrupted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Moxy Posted February 18, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 18, 2016 The bargain hunters thread seems to have incomplete text in all the posts. This has only been the case since last night's downtime, so I wonder if something corrupted? Yep, same here. I have tried changing back to RMWeb 2013 skin, same error.

RMweb Premium Moxy Posted February 18, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've noticed something else about the thread as well, the 'post total' under VNC is 1 fewer than the actual number of posts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 It seems like any posts that contained pound symbols, other special characters and foreign accented letters have been truncated where those characters appeared. Mostly ok, but some posts are rendered incomprehensible. Was there a back-up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trains4U Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 yes, same happened to my post in the Hornby "Troubles" thread (pound sign) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted February 18, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 18, 2016 It seems like any posts that contained pound symbols, other special characters and foreign accented letters have been truncated where those characters appeared. Mostly ok, but some posts are rendered incomprehensible. Was there a back-up? It may not need a backup, the full text is probably still in the database. It's a bug in the software. Martin.

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted February 18, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 18, 2016 It's a bug in the software. Get that ant off my hard drive!!! Hornby topic was where I first spotted and reported it but since then I too have noticed that any post with "special characters" is likely to have been clipped.

Talltim Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 It also seems to affect the quoting, at least using the mobile view on an iPhone. I've not analysed it but it seemed like the last few posts of a page are sometimes put into quotes within a previous post This page does it http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/108082-Hornby-issues-profit-warning/page-31. It looks like the Reply box is also included in the post which contains the other posts, this narrows the screen area available for the buttons, causing the formatting to break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
