Okay, so it's not just me? And it's not just Firefox deciding to bark at the moon rather than do what it's supposed to?

Hmm. A forum database rebuild appears to have had no effect...

... because the data file for that thread itself is empty. The page formatting/container stuff is there, but the content has all gone.

That's not a good sign.

Uh, I guess that's an important safety tip, then, kids: don't necro old threads that already have 50-odd posts in them.

I'll ask deej, but it's probably gone.

Meanwhile, the database thinks 384 is a truncated version of 408 now, 411 shows the new-posts icon even after Mark All, and there is no thread 410 at all.

Hmm. I'm no expert, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that that isn't working right.
