7. Insufficient validation occurs in message subject lines. Under some circumstances, text in the subject line can create a data overflow upon saving that breaks the links between messages. You can see this on 6TH POPE message #36306 and on F@H message #02752. In the first case, the message list points into the middle of the board list. In the second, it points from message 02752 to message 02732 even though messages 02751 through 02733 still exist. Screenshots showing the problem on the two boards are shown below.
If this is hard to fix, I wouldn't worry about it. I caused the corruption by accident on the Pope board and repeated it on F@H to confirm that I was responsible and what I'd done. I won't do it again, I promise, except possibly again by accident. I doubt anyone else will cause the corruption either... but they could since it's just a data overflow. Anyone can do the same thing by overloading the line.
