Viewing a thread seems to hang until connected #264

Closed KyleMaas closed 3 years ago

KyleMaas commented 3 years ago

It appears (and I haven't debugged this, so I don't know why this would be) that if you're not connected to another peer with data and you try to view a thread, the Thread page will wait (with no indication it's doing anything) until you're connected. Then it loads. Only thing I can think of is that maybe it's hanging at the stage where it tries to get a tangle and rather than give up after a bit and query the database directly it just stops. But that's just a hypothesis - really needs proper debugging.

I can see now where this could happen if you were not connected and you tried to view a thread that wasn't in the database. But if the root of the thread is in the database, it looks like it should operate correctly and seems to in practice.
