Also note that the node with the missing parent link is marked as "In Section Notes", i.e. it doesn't belong to the PM Discussions. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

The same thing happened to me with Re: Dark Mode for AM? a week ago -- I posted it, it turned up blank without an "in reply to". I added back in my content, then considered it for reparenting... Then I noticed that kcott's Re^2: Larger profile pic than 80KB? (posted right after mine) was also empty without "in reply to", and I was thinking about considering that second post as well... but a few minutes later (I thought before a janitor would have had time to reparent mine), mine did have "in reply to" correctly, and when I rechecked kcott's, it was fixed as well, so I concluded that it was just something slow/stuck on the server that eventually finished. I `/msg`'d the janitors to ignore my consideration. I later noticed my posts janitation history said erzuuli had changed the consideration status -- and I don't know whether that was from the reparenting or from my `/msg` after it had already found its parent. When I saw the same symptoms in hippo's post a few days ago (and because it had been long enough from the post that if it was just a slow server, it would have resolved itself), I `/msg`'d the gods to let them know there might be an intermittent bug, because it doesn't seem to be just a one-time server fluke, like I assumed with my and kcott's posts last week.

I've noticed that slowness quite a few times; most recently with my last post, "Re^3: Listing out the characters included in a character class [v5.38]", which I just posted some minutes ago. It's quite long and took a few previews to fix minor typos: these all occurred in a resonable time. When I hit create, I had to wait minutes for anything to happen. That sort of thing has occurred on quite a few occasions over the last week or so. Also, when going back just now to get the node_id for linking, I see the timestamp is completely wrong. It shows "`Oct 28, 2023 at 15:42 AEDT`". The timezone, AEDT, is correct; but it's just after 7am on 29th Oct here. I don't know if that's related or helps with troubleshooting. — Ken	[reply] [d/l]

As the author of that node I can confirm that it was created in the usual manner of a reply but also on creation didn't appear in the thread and then when I revisited the new node all the content was missing too. I had to pop back to the preview page to get the content and then paste it back into the edited node (I did not resubmit the preview). It would be nice to have it reparented to Re^12: How to disable taint checking by Perl? where it was intended to be. 🦛	[reply]

It's just happened again with Re: Can I get help with Perl glob for filtering a directory. Previewed OK, submitted OK, doesn't appear in the thread (yet). I won't touch it for now so we can see what happens (will the content disappear? will it get attached to the thread later?). 🦛	[reply]
Re^2: Missing 'in reply to...' And 'in thread....' by kcott (Archbishop) on Nov 03, 2023 at 18:12 UTC
Almost an hour later (~55 mins) it's still empty (just "Rep" voting radiobuttons). Update: I tried a few things: reloaded several times voted on other nodes in thread approved the thread upvoted your node Your node remained empty throughout (now 65mins since you posted it). Radiobuttons replaced with "Reputation: 1". — Ken	[reply]

Corion reparented it to the thread at some point. I've just looked at it now and there was again no content, so I've restored that as best I could. The node rep is now zero, so it I don't know if your vote has counted or not but thanks for it anyway! 🦛	[reply]

I seem to have hit the same problem: Re: Passing on "use"s is empty and needs to be reaped Reaped: Re: Passing on "use"s needs to be re-parented (node content looks ok but 'in reply to' and 'in thread' are missing) Update: both now seem to be non-empty, identical and parented correctly! One of them needs to be reaped.	[reply]

"One of them needs to be reaped." They both look identical (except for node IDs). I've considered the second `#11155282` for reaping. — Ken	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks! Next time this happens, I won't rush to re-post, just wait an hour or two. :) Would be good to understand the reason/s for the mega time delays, where a post appears empty for 10+ minutes before its content appears ... and then another long delay before its 'in reply to' and 'in thread' links appear. 👁️🍾👍🦟	[reply]
