I don't know if this is related, but I had this happen with a post I had created and tried to edit. Nothing would populate. That is, until I realized I had been removed from the group by some glitch. Once I rejoined the group, everything populated just fine.
Stephen, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with that information.
I don't have any permissions to edit any site code. Here is another
user having trouble.

Also, it may not be at all related to the problem I had, as I was looking at an entire page not populating during an edit - and only because I lacked permissions at the time (given that I was suddenly no longer a member of that group). This looks different, as it's just a forum post, one that doesn't require membership in a specific group - only certain posts are not populating, and only during a general view and not an edit.
I'm sure it can be fixed, but without permissions, it's tough to even see what's going on - not just site code changes, but the ability to look at the database itself.
In the example link you gave, the user has one empty post, followed by one successful post that populates fine, followed shortly afterward by two empty posts - all within the space of 30 minutes. That would tend to rule out someone executing SQL code at that time, although it's still possible. For that matter, the database could have been locked (for any number of reasons) during the time the entries were made.
The first question I would want answered is whether or not data even exist now in the database for those posts. If db entries do exist, but simply aren't appearing, we could troubleshoot that. If db entries do *not *exist, except as empty placeholders in the database, then the question becomes split into whether it was never saved at all, or whether it was saved, but was later cleared/deleted. To that end, I'd want to know from the user whether the posts were ever visible in the first place. Also, has he been able to make forum posts since?
