The Requested Article Does Not Exist

But it shows replies

from WinCustomize Forums
In a least two and possibly three different posts that I clicked on today I get a message "The Requested Article Does Not Exist" This is not like the timeouts and server does not exist responses I've seen lately. It's just like a normal post page with that message in the middle. Is this a new site bug or is it possibly some moderated JU posts?

I get this too. I believe it's because of articles originating from user's WC websites (or something similar - maybe JU like you say) which have been deleted.

I don't know what kind of problems they've been having, but I've gotten the same message, server time-outs, I've posted comments in threads and they never show up. I hope they get it fixed soon, though.

I think, the problem is with the author of the article and not with the site. (But I might be wrong...) The author might have deleted or hid it. That would be my guess if the problem's at random, and not concerning all articles.

I've found 3 more since posting this note this afternoon EST Not just in one section either.

I had that on an article I had commented on over at JU. It was shown in my activities list as something I had commented on but when I clicked it, I got the doesn't exist message. Yet I could go to JU and still see it.

Maybe the JU articles show in the articles list but aren't accessible from WC?

Can you paste the URL to the article(s) in question so we can look into it and see what the problem may be.

I've come across many of the posts as well..they seem to usually be related to several people that are spamming the boards.

We are looking into these.  Most likely cause is that the post is made from JoeUser and the person has never logged on to WC before so they do not have the corresponding WC Account to make the article show up.  This may be a tricky one to fix.
