'The requested topic does not exist.'

[Alexandrea]

I have come across 'The requested topic does not exist.' a few times before and pm'd the devs about it in the past but these 'two' are new, I am positive it wasn't there a year ago and unlike the vanishing/invisible threads from last time? These were 'posted' back in 1969........

I've repaired the database, so that might fix it. I believe that usually does.

[Alexandrea]

not so much ... <3


bug board


off topic


game discussions



clicking ANY of them gets you this;
"The requested topic does not exist."

I'll run some repair scripts. Do you have a link to that search page? Or whatever page that is?

[Alexandrea]

all of them (That I have found so far) are the last page of topics, on the bug board, game discussions, off-topic and the turning threads boards.

These threads genuinely don't exist on the database anymore. I'm not sure why. I wonder if they were important, do you know? I wonder if they were deleted in a way that's something other than the usual way.

[Alexandrea]

do you remember when I first started as bug mod and I was first cleaning up the board, I pm'd you and Josh about this issue but with a different set of topics and dates were NOT from the 1960's, lol. Those are gone, did you guys fix them back then or did they just 'go away' ??? They were on page twentysomething I think but that was when we had over 30 pages in that board and now it's just like a baker's dozen.

But either way, I can't find them now. But to answer your question, some of those topics DID seem important, they were marked as "A" bugs. The rest, bugs aside, I have no idea.

Could it have something either to do with the way the site archives threads or have something to do with the server transfer a while back?

[Mooncalf]

I've looked into it a little bit more, and it looks like it might have something to do with the way I upgraded the forum version. However, if more keep on vanishing like this then we'll have to consider a fresh forum and making this an archive one. It might fix a whole bunch of issues such as the PM one.
