A little bug with deleted messages
-
So yeah, that is a small bug, but a bug nontheless. If a message is deleted it still tecnically exists in the profile post history, so a page of posting history can be "empty" (full of deleted posts) and output a "This user hasn't posted anything yet." message when in reality there are still existing posts on further history pages.

@humerus If you want the post to go away at all, then report it to Specter
@muker said in Hello, this is an information Board:
Also, if you have placed a topic in the wrong section, you can write a moder (Specter) asking it to be moved or deleted.
-
@muker to me it still looks like a bug and taking into consideration what u've said, now it makes even less sense
-
@humerus I believe not, since you could delete the post, and due to this feature, you can restore it
-
@humerus that's how forums works this days
it's not always shown - but nothing gets deleted from database.
-
@tulukaruk i'm not saying that deleted posts have to erased from everywhere, what i'm saying is that an avarage user should not be able to see "empty" history pages with incorrect response messages
@muker i dont think that this "feature" enables restoring posts in any way, if i'm wrong please correct me
-
@humerus you deleted the topic / comment, it is marked as deleted for other users, but it is in the database/someone else's topic. And here is the theme and comment recovery button.
to erase from public access or can only moder or admin

@humerus This forum uses 3rd party software. It's not something the devs can fix.

@specter i see, thanks for the reply, and thanks for placing the topic in the correct category =P
@muker this feature has nothing to do with the bug itself, delted posts are not supposed to take up space in user's post history
