Forum trouble (php?)

Hi remix-people! :)
Lately I encounter (seemingly) random trouble browsing the forum.
I get to see all empty replyboxes (in a topic) and on top of it, the following 'messages':
Warning: Empty regular expression in /homepages/23/d34419251/htdocs/remix64.com/board/viewtopic.php on line 1123

Some topics work, others don't.
Do I have a problem?
Or is the forum in trouble?
Anyone has a clue?

Thanx in advance! 8)
Ta!

btw, I went from +/- 200 posts to +90 -is this any kind of punishment? :wink:

Aha!! I thought I was alone in this!

It appears as though if you use the "new posts" option, then all the links to the topics have "&highlight=" on the end. The manual workaround is either to browse the posts from the main front end, or remove "&highlight=" from the end of the URL.

Yes, there are php trouble here...

When you click a link from "read unread posts", you'll get a link like this

viewtopic.php?t=2076&highlight=

..which doesn't work unless you remove "&highlight="
Problem? I don't know... different php-versions?

Solution... manually remove the text in the link. Cumbersome, but it works. Or don't use the "read unread posts" feature...

The thing is I can't read these posts, since this topic has the exact problem that I'm describing! :evil:
I can post in it, though. Just can't read the messages.
ARGH, help! :shock:

Oh wait, I could read the posts when I posted this reply, and my screen came back. Ok, now I know what the problem is, thanx.
Hope it gets solved though. :wink:

What about my dissapearing posts?

If you're posting birthday greets, then it's probably to do with the removal of old postings.

I thought it was a bit strange when my posts count was going up and down a lot and then I saw that I contributed regular to the greetings on the birthday threads.

I could be wrong of course but I think that's the only reason in both our cases.

No, I neva-eva post in the birthday threads (I do not celebrate birthdays see, not even my own).
But I post lots of times in the retro-word-games threads, maybe when they close 'm down, I lose posts??

Ta!

Hey all, I know some of you have been telling me about the problem for a while. I've fixed it now, sorry for not having a look earlier, you know, real life business etc... ;)

About the disappearing posts: I recently ran a script that recalculated the real current number of posts. So it is likely that in fact the previously deleted retro word associations dropped out of that figure. No punishment whatsoever :D
