[FIXED] Titleless dispatches appearing in dispatch list

I was looking through my dispatch page, and upon scrolling to the bottom, six dispatches with no titles were added, all labelled Bulletin > News. Below it, there's also an option to click "More", and after doing that, it just says "No Results". There seems to be a visual bug of some sort - I have no clue.

It's also interesting that these are all out of order chronologically as well.

I checked your dispatch page and I can see them as well, so it's something serverside. My guess is that the site somehow accidentally created a bunch of null-dispatches

EDIT: So I found out a way to actually access these blank dispatches, which should allow you to delete them.

1) Go to the list of dispatches where the empty ones are listed and right-click anywhere, then select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element"
2) Find "div id=main" and click the down arrow next to it to expand it
3) Find "div id=content" and expand that
4) Find "div class=dispatchlist" and expand it
5) Find "ol id=dispatchliststart" and expand THAT
6) Now you should be presented with a list of items that look like "<li>...</li>". The last six items in this list are the blank dispatches
7) Expand one of the blank dispatches, then expand the "<h3>...</h3>" item. Inside is a <href=(url)> which points to the actual location of the dispatch. Clicking it will take you to it so you may edit/delete it

Yeah, though I believe sorting by new was always a little bit off. Upvotes may have had something to do with it.

Thanks! I'm currently not on my computer, but if this isn't fixed by the time I turn it on, I'll try this. :)
