New Forum Bug Reports

[eek]

Good news is that it's not a bug.

Given that I've just got a PM from a new (zero post) poster that contains text in the email but is completely blank when I visit PMs on this website I would call it a bug (well it's definitely a bug but I'm not sure which of the various different problems and solutions to put it under).

To the new poster if they read this sadly the post was from a month ago and I can't even think who emailed the Perl contract so even if I could reply I sadly can't help you.

Yeah, thanks for that. I guess they will just need to post a few things first and have them approved - if there is a bug, it's probably the weird side effect of getting a blank PM where part of the body shows up in the email notifications, but that is probably quite low down in the order of priorities

I've just messaged you too.

If you want, reply with the name of who is messaging you and I can see if there's something odd with their profile.

(and no, for any conspiracy theorists, we can't read everyone's PMs)

Thanks! I just did that... perhaps they have some weird settings or something.

Just got a test message from nluk, which worked fine. Perhaps this other person doesn't have PM rights or something and it's manifesting weirdly. Oh well.

PMs are fubared for me. We're having a blank conversation back and forth, same for the person I'm speaking with (the only reason I know is that I can see the partial body via the e-mail notifications)

[jamesbrown]

Sure they've not done something stupid like setting the text to be white?

Ha! But, no, there’s no message body whatsoever when viewed through the Inbox, but the email notification suggests a body did exist at some point. Weird.

Just received a PM that is completely blank. Not sure whether that is a bug or user error, but half of it came through in an email, so it doesn’t seem like user error.
