Hey, is it just me, or does it seems like months or even year old posts are being updated? This is making it a bit hard to read recent replies to topics while most of the things in Recent that I see haven’t been replied to in over a few months.
Edit: after a small bit of examining the posts, it seems some of their categories were changed, causing them to be put at the top of recent. Examples of this are posts in the Virtual Reality Support category,
Yeah, it seems to be an admin/system bot of some sort fixing up old pictures that were broken when the devforum was moved to Roblox’ own servers! 
That’s probably why then.
A possible solution would be to not bump posts when they get edited?
The company that maintains the Developer Forum is running a bot that is fixing images, which would normally be a good thing. Unfortunately they are doing it in a very roundabout way causing the layout of some posts to be broken as a result (details tags go missing, posts are scraped from the HTML and then changed, then submitted as the new version, etc) so I’m not too happy about it. We’ve brought this up with Developer Relations.
The company?
Discourse?
I thought Roblox owns this instance of Discourse.
Discourse is the forum software, also developed by the company called Discourse. Roblox used to have the devforum hosted on a Discourse-managed instance, but they switched to privately hosted so we can use certain plugin-like functionality that wouldn’t be possible on a Discourse-hosted instance. Another company is now in charge of maintaining the forum instance (not anyone at Roblox).
This is one thing i wish discourse didn’t do, is bump posts that got edited, or at least have an option not to.
Why is it scraping HTML?? Surely there’s a better way than that. Every page is literally just rendered JSON. 
Apparently they used the wrong API endpoint for getting the post. One delivers a json object that contains all cooked data on the post (i.e. the body here is already in HTML, so that the browser doesn’t need to spend resources preparing the page when you’re just browsing, it’s already done) and another that delivers the markup-style content that isn’t yet converted to HTML (for when you are editing a post).
On the bright side, the previous versions are still stored in the database, but I’m guessing if they tried to restore them they would mess them up too
Ah okay, so what happened to me last night wasn’t just some random guy with post editing permissions breaking my images for no reason.
