Old Pastebin Content Disappeared.

[Lt_Hawkeye]

Not sure whats going on but all non-text content seems to have disappeared from old pastebins. The pastebin is still there but its contents are now empty.

Same with me. There's just: "1 files", "3 files"...

 

[tillinghast]

same for me, but the files are still there, just not displayed
i can view the files from the threads they were linked to

but now nothing in the gallery works for me, all images show a small "The requested content cannot be shown. Please try again later." picture
also image previews in threads don't work, they show "View attachment #" link

Can confirm, anything related to uploaded images seems to be broken.

The hell. But only pastebin?

 

[Ralle]

Holy crap.

For some reason all attachments on the site were moved to a pastebin entry. I managed to reproduce this bug and fix it. Then I wrote a script to (with a backup from 2 minutes before the creation of that paste) move all attachments from the pastebin back to their original place.

It should be fixed now or over the next few minutes.

Whew. They don't teach you this in school.

What a crazy bug. how in the heck...?

 

[Ralle]

Bugs can exist for tens of years before getting discovered. This one is from 2012 I think.

You're a hero, Ralle.
