It's not just you. Something is seriously broken here.

Stepping through the thread a post at a time, thread/2994/Extra-Curricular-Lesson-with-Hideaki-Anno/27/ works and thread/2994/Extra-Curricular-Lesson-with-Hideaki-Anno/28/ fails, so post 48 in the thread is the first suspect one. Similarly thread/2994/Extra-Curricular-Lesson-with-Hideaki-Anno/66/ works but thread/2994/Extra-Curricular-Lesson-with-Hideaki-Anno/65/ fails.

I'm still checking out the database to see what the problem is, but I suspect we've discovered an unaddressed hiccup from the big transfer to the new forum software. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, antinitrogen.

I did some digging. Post 48 of that topic is attached to a user_id whose user entry in the database... does not exist. And now to figure out what the hell happened there.

EDIT: The same user ID is missing from the equivalent table in my copy of the database from the previous iteration of the forum as well, and this orphan ID is attached to that same post. Weeeird.

EDIT: It seems pretty clear that the error is a result of the software being unable to display posts made by a user ID with no user entry in the database. So far I've identified two such "ghost users": 2028 and 3519. User 3519 gets quoted in that topic, and from that I learned that his name was "kenbladex4", but nobody quoted user 2028.

The Wayback Machine isn't being particularly helpful at getting at the affected pages or members, either.

Tonight I'll create some fake user entries for these user IDs so that those pages will (I hope) be visible.

EDIT: I didn't. :(
