Editing Guides / Forum Posts / Rules or other text based elements and saving these can result in text fully disappearing.

Also affects the text as information normally displayed at the top of https://www.speedrun.com/requestgame

Site staff is aware and should hopefully be fixed soon.

Edit 22/09: This is fixed.

It's not just edited posts either. Guides that haven't been edited in over a year also appear as blank to me.

[quote]Guides that haven't been edited in over a year also appear as blank to me.[/quote] On my end it's all guides regardless of post date/last edit.

I noticed this bug. Bringing up the edit menu again, when the post appears empty, shows the text for the post. Saving the post again (without changing anything) seems to restore it.

Absolutely no offence intended, but....does stuff break on this website more than most? Or am I just more aware of it because of how much time I spend here? (I'm still seeing my profile banner in the background on every page, which is honestly kinda nice but definitely a bug)

[quote]Can't confirm myself if rules becomes visible after reediting.[/quote] Nope, still empty. Same for reediting guides.

is there any ETA on when this will be fixed?

@Akii There is not. Also, nice alt account.

@ShikenNuggets not an alt account, i'm new to speedrunning

You can see broken guides by hitting ctrl+U, ctrl+F and finding the last match for "placeholder"

I really hate to be this guy, but... any progress on this? We've had an influx of new runners over the weekend and none of them being able to access any guides is a pretty major inconvenience (also, not being able to update category rules is starting to become a real problem).

No progress.

I wonder how long this will take to get fixed. Learning Speedrunners such as me won't have the best notions to do a smooth run and won't be able to exploit any glitches or very few.

Until the bug with text not appearing after editing guides/posts/rules is resolved, I exported the Game Request, Moderation and Site rules temporarily to these pastebins:

Site rules - https://pastebin.com/zM6qBwkT Game request rules - https://pastebin.com/wVCFrssq Moderation rules - https://pastebin.com/Y6nRjiH7

This should be fixed.
