Test post - please ignore (I'm testing to see what is breaking some threads here)

Iain

Please ignore this thread, I'm just trying different options to see if I can pinpoint what is breaking the threads - I'll ask for it to be deleted once/if I find the root cause of the issue.

From what I have seen it seems to be after a picture is inserted into a rely - seen it happen twice now but other times it is OK.

I'll try different sizes and file types to see if there is any basis for this.

Thanks for your patience

  • I don't think I can reproduce the fault easily - I'll see if any more ideas come to me overnight 

    Thanks to those of you who contributed - all your observations help us eliminate potential causes.

    I wonder if it might be 2 posts made in quick succession or simultaneously causing a corruption somehow. Seems unlikely.

    The error suggests a script has the problem.

    I am not sure what would run when opening a page, other than rendering and page formatting, but they are always there.

    All replies are probably stored in a database (SQL or similar) and each reply to a thread will have the replies stored in the message somewhere listing the addresses of each response in order.

    If that list becomes corrupt then it will fail to load the list of the replies associated with it. A re-index of the database will normally rebuild this list of connections and update the post with a refreshed table.

    This was the more common issue back when I worked for companies that were heavy database users.
