First post of older threads missing
Discussion
Just been enjoying a few classic threads. On many of them it seems like the original post is missing. Just the first one...
..now IIRC Ted based Gassing Station on a freeware ASP based "forum" and in its relational model the first post was stored in the "thread" table and subsequent ones were stored in a "posts" table that had "thread" as part of the primary key.
During the great rejigging could it be that the first post of a thread now resides in the "posts" table (where it ought to) - but that during the "munge" when the structure of the database was altered and the new code deployed that old threads weren't updated and with the new code the first post is forever lost?
Some of the old classics just aren't the same without the first post...
Any chance one of the PH techies could take a look?
Many thanks and keep up the good work!
