Thanks, but have you tried using the link I've posted ???

When I do that, I get a blank "topic"

Yes it is blank for me too!

I don't know what is up with that.

I'm sure it will reappear shortly.

I wonder if something is up with the forum software. I did a search just a little while ago and it had 3 pages of results. However the second page would just display a blank page like the example above. The 1st and 3rd pages worked fine.  :103-

I also found another such page yesterday. I've asked Joey to look into it. :79-

Can anyone else post specific links they've found that are broken?

FIXED NOW! :244- :244- :244- :89- :71- :89-

Quote
I was able to delete the offending post which opened up that thread again... I then went ahead and merged the posts together thinking that it may make for better continuity... If not send me a PM with any posts that should be deleted, or pruned or whatever. :103-

There is some funny thing that happens in the software that is a mystery and it deals with quoting of posts, maybe multiple quotes.. It does not happen all of the time. I have had to fix this in the past before. It is usually not too easy to fix. :25- Not sure why it happens, but here are some things people can do:

IF you are typing your post and have added quoted posts, try using the preview feature (I am paranoid about losing alot of typed content, so I try to remember to hilight my entire post, and then right click and select copy just in case! :89- :89- ) before posting... If you see a white blank page, just hit the back button in your browser and you should be back in the editing window.

There is a way to still make it work buy deleting some of the quote header information, I will let Statfreak :31- detail this as he played with that trick. :186-

After that you can preview again... If you see your proposed post, then you are OK to proceed, if you see a white screen again, something is still weired out in the quotes.

Hope that this helps explain the mystery a little... It is just a bandaid, but better than nothing!

You can see how I made the above quote of my other post a generic post if you quote it and then look at the stuff in the brackets... it is simple
Quote
generic quote inside the brakets the it starts with quote, and ends with /quote inside the brackets
