Hi there,
there is credible evidence that the recent rash of posts being undisplayable is at least in part caused by using autocard tags. That would explain why the Rules Q&A seems to be affected more severely than other forums. It would also explain why some people can not see threads they posted themselves once somebody answers. A lot of regular posters have auto-card reminders in their signature.
The problem already occurs in preview, so for the time being, if you have a rules question, I suggest you do the following:
1) Compose the question with auto-card tags, but use Preview before you submit it. If the preview works, great, post the thread. 2) If the Preview goes to a white-screen of death, hit the back button, take out the auto-card tags, and then post the thread.
That way, we should at least be able to see the questions.
Responders, if you have auto-card reminders in your signature, please take them out or USE PREVIEW to make sure that you don't break any threads.
Thanks.
Edit: It seems that the auto-card problem has been fixed, or at least I can now open a lot of posts that were previously broken, and making new posts with auto-cards seems to work, too. However, it's always a good idea to use Preview to make sure your post looks good.

Just a suggestion, since your conclusion seems evident... Perhaps, you could change the thread Title to something a little more attention grabbing/forceful...
Maybe, "STOP AUTO-CARDING! Please read"

Bumping, in case it helps, since at least one person still managed to miss it.

I'd advice browsing in archive mode to view white screen of death threads. http://forums.gleemax.com/archive/index … p-101.html

Bumping so that maybe Vorsk will see it and stop killing threads.
