Some posts show up as empty #21

(I had thought this was part of #19, but since the layout issues are otherwise fixed ...)

In this thread (in the Moderators' Lair, sorry), for example, 3 of my 5 posts so far, including this one, have all of their text missing. (They're still in the database, since I could find out what I had posted by clicking the "edit" button, but not merely hidden, as their text is not present in the HTML shown by "view source.")

The one thing in common I can see (other than all being by me, which wasn't the case for some I noticed entangled with #19) is that the missing posts contain links, while none of the posts in that thread unaffected by this issue do.

In the "post a reply" page (and thus probably the "edit post" page), the text of these posts is also missing in the "Topic Review" section. However, I was surprised to find that clicking "Quote" next to one of the apparently-empty posts in that section inserts (quoted, as usual) its actual full text into the "message body" text box, instead of an empty quote as the other symptoms had led me to expect.

Ah-Hah! The reason that worked is that every post in the "Topic Review" section has its BBcode source in a <div> hidden with display: none;, as well as the <div class="postbody"> that's supposed to contain its rendered form, and any post containing a link (or whatever the common feature is, if that isn't it) becomes rendered as the empty string.

One more wrinkle, which renders this more serious than I had thought: I tried editing one of the affected posts (wondering if quotes were now required around URLs in [url= syntax), and when I clicked "Preview" it told me "Your message contains too few characters." and the "Message body" box was empty (!).

This looks to be happening to all posts, i.e. a reproduction of #22.

This entire issue is incredibly awkward if it's being caused by simply upgrading the PHP version. I've manually forced the site back to version 5.6. Can you confirm if the issue was fixed?

Looks like it. (This thread should work as a test case that doesn't require Moderator or better permissions to view.)
