Hiro, this board has a major bug. I just spent some time writing a reply to someone, clicked POST, and got a server error. So I clicked BACK to find...
A COMPLETELY BLANK PAGE
This is quite a serious bug.
And now as I look back, the posts of the COM section are just GONE. Dang!

indeed :confused:
the board issues an insert into SQL statement
How on earth can that erase records?
I'll look into it right now
do you remember the error message you got?
anything specific?
the problem is that: if it would be the code, then it would happen at every reply. I'm fearing it to be a brinkster failure of some sort. I really need any more info you still remember.
Values = cstr(ParentID & "," & clng(Session("MemberID")) & ",'" & PrepareStr(UserName) & "',#" & PostedOn & "#,'" & IP & "','" & PrepareStr(MsgBody) & "','" & PrepareStr(Email) & "'," & ForumID & "," & clng(Mood))
AddReplyConn.Execute("INSERT INTO Messages (,MemberID,,,IP,Message,ContactAddress,ForumID,Mood) VALUES (" & Values & ")")
AddReplyConn.Execute "UPDATE Messages SET = #" & PostedOn & "# WHERE MessageID = " & parentid
this is what happens: I don't possibly see how this can delete anything

sorry Ernie. I looked at all the code looking for mistakes but I always explicitly use INSERT INTO and UPDATE SQL statements to prevent the malfunctioning of certain ADO objects such as a recordset.
So they only add and edit, no deletion involved whatsoever.
In view of referential integrity a message will only get deleted if it's parent forum gets deleted, but the forum still exists. :confused:
My guess is that it is an unfortunate access failure :(
Do you still remember the exact message that you typed? maybe the fault lies there and I overlooked something :ashamed:.
But right now I can't see a mistake anywhere.
basically this forum and it's functions have been extensively tested by me before uploading. The functions that are in it shouldn't fail because of a fault in them.

I went over it again, cant find a fault :confused:
I'll contact Brinkster, since I've seen 3 server 'hickups' today.
Maybe they're is something wrong.
Hiro,
Perhaps this occured during another major server error. While I don't remember the screen info (next time I will copy the screen), here was the sequence of events:
1) read a post on the COM board
2) I replied to it
3) filled out a LONG winded reply (don't I always?)
4) Hit SUBMIT, got error message.
5) hit BACK, blank fresh SUBMIT page. UGH !!!!!
6) (later) noticed the first post and reply (what I was orgionally replying to) had VANISHED!
I would suspect replying to the vanishing post caused the error.
So, why do posts vanish? ;-)
Ernie
only reason I can think of is the referential integrity rules that I placed on the database.
I will remove those and will just have to pay more attention to certain admin routines. Basically it's the only thing that I can imagine that has happened. Access thought the forum was deleted somehow and enforced the deletion of the sibling records.
far fetched but it's all I can think of
