Nonexistent Topics

I tried to post in the "Swordfights!" topic in General Discussion, but when I submitted the message it told me that the requested topic did not exist. Then when I went back to GD to try and find the topic, it showed up and I was the last person to post on it.

Anyone know why this might have happened?

EDIT: When I tried to post this, it gave me the message again. Odd. *shrug*

From what I've heard, it's an error related to some changes that are being made to the forum.

When you try to change a topic to global you get two lines of uninterpretable gobblety-gook. When you try to do anything moderator related you get strange and mysterious errors.

Jay said Dieki is doing something to the forum, and so I've just been ignoring the problem and going on. Until something actually breaks we'll assume that it will go away on it's own...

Same here... and I sent another topic here by posting in it...

(EDIT: It went back to where it was... weird)

Same problem here. Thanks for the explanation though, Jaynin; that clears things up

I've been wondering about this myself. Good to know.

It only happens to me after I've posted and it tries to re-direct to the topic after I have already gotten the 'your message was posted successfully' message. It also has only happened in the ML hall...

Anyways, thanks for letting us know, Jaynin!

It hasn't happened to me, but I know that some people had witnessed this.

I'm looking forward to the changes, Dieki is once again doing a fine job.

Just so they all know, I also get this when I follow a link in a notification email. Thought that might help the tech guys or something.

Elanhil · **Posted:** June 13th, 2011, 7:35 am

Now it happens every time I post. Not just the ML hall.

Something else must be going on... I already fixed the stuff I did.

I've noticed it for the past 5-7 days. It happens every time I post.

Yep. Same here.

Yes, I am seeing it too. I'll have to look into it.

Lady Eruwaedhiel · **Posted:** June 14th, 2011, 9:49 am

Now it seems to have stopped.

I'm still running into it.

We've now figured out what's causing the problem, and a solution is in the works. Thanks for all your reports!

Elanhil · **Posted:** June 15th, 2011, 8:36 am

Yay! *applause*

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** June 15th, 2011, 10:29 am

Thanks, o epic Ringsmith!

Whythawye · **Posted:** June 15th, 2011, 11:27 am

Okay, it should be fixed now, after some odd hacking.

Haha.

Elanhil · **Posted:** June 21st, 2011, 8:59 am

I actually haven't been noticing it lately...Maybe I just got used to it. :rofl:

I'll be watching for it though...
