empty pages way in back of GT

[Shentino]

Forum URL: support.proboards.com

I'm just a little curious as to what's going on.

Normally, I don't expect to see empty pages, so methinks there's something strange going on.

1. Can the staff take care of it (maybe with fix a board)
2. Is this anything I'd ever be needing to worry about on my own board?

No, it's the w00bug. It eats old threads. Seriously.

Even if it happened on your forum, why would you care that a thread that was created months beyond months, to even a year ago would be gone?

I take data integrity seriously. Corrupted information of any kind is one of my pet peeves. I don't really give a hoot how old a thread gets, but unless it's been officially removed by staff, it should remain there...

...shouldn't it?

It is still there, just hidden. It will show again once 'fix a board has been pressed'.

About how often would you need to run "fix a board" to keep GT in line?

usually gets done when it affects the first page, or if a complaint is raised for a topic that has disappeared which you have been watching, don't usually worry after page 100
