Where?

I sent some messages this morning on BT and Dwi, and then it worked just fine. But now something seems to be not working :)

...you know you're addicted to BM when not being able to send messages is a terrible loss 8)

Post by: Anaris on May 16, 2011, 02:43:00 PM: I am looking into it. It is made trickier by the fact that the development server does not appear to exhibit this problem...

Post by: Shizzle on May 16, 2011, 03:02:12 PM: I noticed the General of Thalmarkin on BT changed his bulletin, and now that's blank too.
Title: Re: Blank letters
Post by: Anaris on May 16, 2011, 03:20:24 PM: I have found what I believe to be the source of this problem, and committed a fix (rev. 5424).

I have emailed Tom asking him to run another update.

Post by: Velax on May 16, 2011, 04:08:47 PM: Will the fix make already sent messages no longer appear blank, or only affect future messages?
Title: Re: Blank letters
Post by: Anaris on May 16, 2011, 04:14:43 PM: You want it to go back in time and read the minds of the people who were writing those messages to figure out what they wrote, but never made it into the DB? ;)

No, it should only work for future messages.
Title: Re: Blank letters
Post by: Velax on May 16, 2011, 04:16:14 PM: Heh, I thought perhaps the error was just displaying the messages incorrectly, rather than obliterating them entirely.

Did this bug affect everyone?
Title: Re: Blank letters
Post by: Anaris on May 16, 2011, 04:21:03 PM: Yes.

Don't remind me as even now I have more then a dozen members of my army who are involved in a multi-region move I can't contact :o

Title: Re: Blank letters
Post by: Velax on May 16, 2011, 07:53:10 PM: Seems to be fixed now.

Post by: Shizzle on May 16, 2011, 08:02:36 PM: How am I ever going to remember what I was gonna write? ???
