Some received telegrams not showing up

[Silver Commonwealth]

I received a telegram with one of my factbooks in them, and all of the telegrams received before it aren't visible anymore (despite inbox showing 20, which is true), and the received telegram doesn't seem to be able to deleted. The telegrams received after that do show up, and are able to be replied to, archived or be deleted.

I think that this is probably a bug related to my factbook, but I am still not exactly sure what it is.

A cursory glance and it does seem likely that it's a misformatted BBCode problem.

When you do nested BBCodes (boxes in spoilers, spoilers in spoilers, lists in boxes, basically any <foo> in <bar>) you have to close the tags in the same order you open them.

Good:

Code: Select all

[spoiler][list][*][/list][/spoiler]
[box][spoiler][align][/align][/spoiler][/box]

Bad:

Code: Select all

[spoiler][list][*][/spoiler][/list][box][spoiler][align][/spoiler][/align][/box]

Look through your dispatch and try to find what tags could be doing that, switch them to correct formatting, and see if that helps.

EDIT: From what limited information I can glean, it seems very likely to be the three spoiler boxes causing this problem. Check those first.

I checked the code, and I found that tags for image section aren't arranged in the same order. I will try to fix them and see if it works.

Welp, sorry if i destroyed the first entire TG box page, I sent two messy factbooks to myself and Opsie.. didnt expect that to happen.

At this point, the action I would actually recommend (for Silver Commonwealth) is to clear out and even delete the offending dispatches. Save their contents into a word document, and go over them with a fine-tooth comb to make sure it's all correctly formatted. Everyone else, it seems, is SOL until the dispatches are fixed.

It's a bit inconvenient, but as it currently stands, I think the best option is to get people's telegrams unblocked and working again, and then fix the BBCode once users aren't locked out of their TGs by these dispatches.

Alright, I deleted both of those dispatches. I might simply remove the spoilers entirely and see if it works, and try to make the formatting more in order.

It's inconvenient to have to do such extensive reformatting, but at least your TGs work.

Alright, another dispatch that broke the telegram box. New problem actually!

Huh, I will try to remove the overview at the bottom from that page, and see if the problem still persists.

EDIT: Took it out, and seems to have become normal for me. Did it fix things for you?
