View Full Version : Error: Missing Chapter Posts

I've been reading letia84's fic Crawling Back in the NC-17 Fanfiction Graveyard Forum.

I'm up to chapter 11, and so far the posts for Chapters 4 and 10 (incidentally both Lex POV chapters) are missing.

It's strange because the response posts to those specific chapters are still there. Was wondering if there is any way to recover those missing chapter posts? It's a little frustrating to read a story with chapters missing.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your time.

Unfortunately, if your reading a fic in the graveyard section, it's unfinished and maybe more chapters are missing because the board was hacked and chapters were deleted? Maybe try sending letia84 a pm and she can resend them? I hope this helps:D

I've been having the same problem with going to the next page on a story's thread. I know there are no pages missing because it won't even let me go back and read stories I just finished reading. When I click on the second page of a thread it redirects me back to the main page. It lets me get to the first page but won't let me read the rest of the thread. Can someone please tell me what's going on or fix this?

Unfortunately, this is a residual bug resulting from the hacker's attack the boards suffered two or three years ago. It would demand some very heavy work by Julie to put things right- although in all probability not everything would be as it used to be. Considering how busy with real life our Administrator is, I'm afraid there's no immediate solution.

In the meantime, I'll try to check as many fanfic threads as I can to add a link to an external server in the first post of the fics which are presenting this issue so that you can finish reading them. Of course, you can also contact me with a request- I have my own archive of completed fics.

If the thread still opens, try using the Thread Tools button at the top of the first post. Click on it and a drop-down menu will appear. Select "Show Printable version". Once you're redirected to that version, you should have no problems. You can also scroll down and click the link that will apear in the bottom right-hand side corner of that page so that it shows you 100 posts per page...

All three of them are retrievable by clicking on the "Show Printable Version" of the drop-down menu which you can access by means of the "Thread Tools" button at the top of the first post.

By the way, Part I of "Places We Have Been" is followed by Part III, which was incorrectly numbered. I saved the fic in 2009 before the hacking and it already had that structure.

You should be able to retrieve every hacked story by using the "Show Printable Version" button, except when the whole thread- not a page- won't open and end up redirecting you to our homepage.

Since you're a relatively new member I haven't got all your completed fics saved. Check all your created threads and see if the Show Printable Version button is still working, if it is, then the fic is still retrievalble. If clicking on the thread redirects you to the homepage, I suggest creating a new thread adding the term BACK-UP at the beginning of the title line. If pressing on the "Post" button, sends you to the homepage, let me know and I'll delete the new thread for you.

I don't know what the "Show Printable Version" button looks like or where to find it. Can you attach a link to a page with it or a screenshot?

If you need a test link, under completed NC-17 the story called "Compromising Positions" is by me. Clicking on the link just goes to homepage.

If clicking on the title of thread redirects you to our homepage, then I'm afraid your fic's no longer retrievable-

As regards the "Show Printable Version" button , you can find it on all threads when you open them. Go to the first post of any thread page. In the top right-hand corner you'll find a series of buttons labelled Thread Tools, Search this Thread, Rate this Thread. etc. If you click on the first one, a drop-down menu will open including the option called "Show printable Version". Threads which have pages that won't open or lack posts can be retrieved in full by using that button. It's only the ones that redirect you to the homepage that are a lost case.

Hey guys! Guess what?! Okay, you know how fics with missing chapters can still be read in their entirety by clicking on the printable option?

Well, I just had a thought that maybe the seemingly-completely-non-retrievable threads *were* still retrievable if you could figure out the url of the printable version and type it in your browser manually, you know, by studying the non-retrievable non-printable thread urls which you can still see listed on the forums even if you can't click on them without being redirected to the main page? *deepbreath* ... so I did a test and it worked!

http://forums.naughty-seduction.net/printthread.php?t=8720&pp=100&page=1

That's the original printable thread for BabyDee's "Orchestrato"! :) So you just have to take that url above and change the thread/story ID # "8720" to whatever fic thread number you want to view...and hopefully it should load up any other "missing" fic too! I tried it for "Fragile Hearts" by Tasha and it worked as well!

http://forums.naughty-seduction.net/printthread.php?t=4505&pp=100&page=1

Of course it's not as convenient as easily clicking on the new backup threads lexie so kindly provided. :) But with a little extra effort, at least we can still see the original threads with all the discussion and reviews of the stories intact... yay! :) Maybe this'll save lexie a bit of work in the future too. :) I'm sorry I didn't think of this sooner, lexie! Although it's not possible to leave new comments on the printable version, right? So it's still good to have these new backup threads to post in. :)

ETA: Oooh maybe we could post links to the original printable urls *in* the new backup threads for handy clicking and reading! Sorry if that's a little excessive...just the crazy archivist in me wanting to preserve original dates & discussions...but of course the story's the main thing, so feel free to ignore me and yikes I'm not trying to create *more* work for lexie, I swear! ;)
