504 Error and multiple spurious posts

I think I may have broken something.

I was trying to add a sticky post to the top of my Player Introduction sub-forum that contained the template for my standard Player Introduction Form. Everything was progressing fine and I was just adding some more rows to the form when the page seemed to lock up and I couldn't preview my work.

So, I tried to save it rather than lose what I had completed, and that just seemed to lock the entire site and I eventually got a 504 Time Out error.

In the end I rebooted my PC and was able to open the Player Introduction sub-forum which now looks like this'

There should only be one sticky post in this sub-forum, and at the moment, I can't open any of them anyway.

Also secondary question "How do I delete unwanted posts?"

May or may not be related. We're currently investigating the issue.

As for deleting posts, there's a "Delete" link on the bottom right. If you want to delete a post in a multi-post thread, click "Delete" on the bottom of that post, and only that will be removed. If you want the entire thread gone, click "Delete" on the very first post.

Thanks! I've just tried to open one of these six posts again, and it still won't let me. It just seems to hang, but I'm not getting any error message at all. I'm obviously able to open other posts on the forum.

If you want to give me the links to the 6 posts, maybe here in a note, I can delete them and you can start over? It's possible while you were creating the posts, something broke and just the thread without a post was created somehow.

@Didz I deleted the threads. Something funky did happen with them, though not likely your fault, just bad timing. You will need to recreate the thread you wanted, but it should be better now. If you still face issues, let me know.

Ok! Thanks.

I was worried I'd done something stupid and broke the system.
