content: Yep it looks like it.. made a reply earlier and it is listed in my post-history in full but not on the page when I load the thread' even though it does say so that there is a new post on "overview" frontpage...made a second post to see if it was at my end' that some cookie has gone full circle, in a cookie-cutter fashion but all my browsers show the same and when I try to make a reply or quote' then it does list the last two post underneath but that is all it doesn't load it in full.Was left with the impression that perhaps youtube-videos or pictures need to be manually validated in these regulated times on the web' as I can see the latest entry is EEV blog at 15-5 and perhaps manual validation on this thread, but that would be a first.

content: If you quote a post from the thread' then you can see EEV/Dave testing the thread with the phrase "TEST" at 15-5 after Vipitis stated problems also at 15-5 when loading new posts, so it's likely hanging butt-naked in no man's land.https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/thermal-imaging-gallery/350/?action=post;quote=2408610;last_msg=2422542Anybody got sys-op or admin on speed-dial or at least given notice about this context to the guys upstairs.??.

content: I think Dave posting a "TEST" confirms that it is known. Not sure what priority the error has, but there is a error reporting thread you could post to.It's a strange one indeed.

content: I sent a pm to EEVBlog admin the day this happened so I assume that Dave (or the forum admin) is aware of it

content: Each page tumble at 25 posts, and after reading the post that was present I notice 15 post visible (yeah on page15) and +10 post that was not delivered but still able to read if you either quote or reply in the thread as these will figure underneath your reply before you click post it.and after my last post there was 10 post more then the 15 so another post would tumble it to page 16 and it did.so just repaste your post if you been amongst these 10 posts (from 15 to 25) and it had any value for others.so we are on page 16 now and it seems to function again, at least for the moment.

content: It worked again for a while (thanks to everyone who put in dummy posts) but after adding the hi-res Jersey posts it seems to have borked again.Is it time to close off that thread and start a Thermal Imaging Gallery II?

content: You could add a link pointing to the first gallery thread in the first post of the II-thread. Over time, that first thread will dive deep into the forum abyss, so having such link makes it easy to find it later.

content: Done. Let's get the first thread closed by a mod, and the first and one of the last visible posts linking to the new one, so that the discussion can be continued.

content: Yes, I agree - I tried to post some images in the new gallery thread and got an HTTP 500 error (and the post vanished), yet I was able to post a text-only message.Oddly, if I tried to re-post the message-with-pix I got an error telling me I was posting the same message again, so the system obviously knows there'ssomethingthere!

content: Quote from: Ultrapurple on May 21, 2019, 01:37:53 pmIt looks like all the posts are there as they're retained in the user history and the thread rolls over to the next page. It looks like pages are incorrectly generated from that data.

content: Of course, the forum software itself is also quite badly coded for this particular kind of situation. Properly designed code would catch at least these kind of errors and try to convert a "stopping" issue in to something more helpful, like log the technical stuff and add message for viewers about it, and continue with the next step as if nothing bad happened otherwise. Say, "image processing failed, administrator notified, yada yada" or "database error, ..." The software already seems to handle missing images "gracefully", so it shouldn't be that hard...Things take time, though, so such improvement won't probably solve this current situation quickly enough. The worst part is that as long as the exact reason is unknown, people keep unknowingly breaking it again.

content: The first priority should be to get the old thread fixed' if it's do-able, -but the "thermal imaging thread" is here in writing moment sadly up to its old no good and giving the forum users an attitude and will simply not play along.its only 16 pages and there are some mindblowing shots, that would be preferred to keep in one thread if possible.any feedback' that the guys upstairs are in the loop on the matter.. recall a user stating he contacted them like 10 days ago, but unsure if he got an actual reply.
